Tenindra Abeywickrama
I’m a Research Scientist at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science. My research interests are in developing algorithms that are intuitive in principle, scalable in practice, and shaped by a theoretical lens.
My work typically explores topics related to AI, graphs, large-scale data management, and combinatorial problems. With experience applying my research in industry, I am particularly interested in bridging the gap between academic research and real-world deployment.
