Research Projects and Roles
Research Assistant at the University of Moratuwa
I am a member of the research team working on the project "An Analytical Framework for Digital Social Media in Sri Lanka" under the supervision of Dr. Indika Perera. As a Research Assistant, I have to Investigate and implement a suitable Crowdsourcing platform to take preventive measures in social media message communication, Experiment and prove the adaptability of user experience within the crowdsourcing approach, Integrate the analytical capabilities within the platform, Implement a seem less technical mechanism to prevent the flow of identified posts which creates social issues through social media communication and to publish the research findings.
