Nuwan Herath Mudiyanselage

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at ENSTA-Bretagne / Lab-STICC (Brest, France) in the ROBEX team. I am working there with Luc Jaulin and Simon Rohou.

Postdoc

My current work focuses on the development of new tools for constraint programming using interval arithmetic.

In robotics, one wants to guarantee the state of a robot given parameters measured with some uncertainty. Modelling such problems requires interval arithmetic. In that context, we develop new tools for constraint programming based on interval arithmetic.

PhD

I was a PhD student at Inria Centre at Université de Lorraine / Loria (Nancy, France) in the Gamble team.

My work focused on the visualization of high degree polynomial curves and surfaces, using techniques from computer algebra and interval arithmetic.

Common visualization algorithms are based on the evaluation of a function on a grid of points. We aimed at lowering the evaluation time, while giving some guarantees on the output. Indeed, for high degree polynomials this step dominates the computation time of the visualization itself.

Miscellaneous

I like magic, more specifically close-up magic and even more specifically card magic.

My name should be pronounced [nuʋan ɦeːrat mudijanseːlaːge], but I got used to hearing frenchified variations such as [nuwan eʁat mydiãsɵlaʒ].
