Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChirath Hettiarachchi is a Research Fellow at the Australian National University with nine years of experience translating reinforcement learning research into clinical and commercial applications. He developed a PhD-era RL-based Artificial Pancreas System (G2P2C) and maintains CAPSML and GluCoEnv tools for simulating and benchmarking glucose control algorithms, bridging academia, clinicians, and patients. His current postdoctoral work applies RL to closed-loop non-invasive brain stimulation for depression, complementing prior industry experience deploying ML systems in FinTech and healthcare startups. Comfortable across signal processing, control systems, and end-to-end product engineering, he has built mobile, smartwatch, and web platforms to collect physiological data for ML analysis. An awarded early-career researcher and former startup founder, he combines entrepreneurial grit with rigorous experimental engineering to push ML-for-health from simulation to real-world impact.
