Greetings! I'm a PhD candidate at School of Computing at the University of Utah, advised by Mary Hall. My research focuses on automated compiler optimization for improved data locality and parallelism of high-order tensor applications.

[Update] I graduated in 2022 and this page is no longer maintained. Please contact me at "tharindu at protonmail dot com"
