In 1994 Dr Premaratne was awarded a full scholarship to pursue undergraduate studies through the John Crawford Scholarship Scheme at the University of Melbourne. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronics with Hons) from the University of Melbourne in 1997 and joined Fujitsu (Singapore) Pty. Ltd. as a Network Software Engineer at Network Software Development Division. In 1999 Dr Premaratne received a National University of Singapore Postgraduate Scholarship, National Science and Technology Board of Singapore award and a Motorola Research grant to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr Premaratne was awarded his PhD in 2002 for his work on “Blind Deconvolution for Image Restoration” from the National University of Singapore Field of Study: Computer Vision, Image Processing (Registration, Matching, Understanding, Filtering, Performance Metrics), Human Computer Interaction, Radar Signal Processing, Robotic Ground Vehicle Navigation, Multicopters and Multicopter based Vision Platforms Guest Editor: D-S.
