Lahiru completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and Georgia Tech. His thesis research, entitled “Methods and analyses to uncover the muscle pattern-generating mechanisms of the spinal cord and motor cortex using deep learning-based dynamical systems models”, focused on understanding the neural control of movement through the application of deep learning-based dynamical systems modeling tools to study neural population activity from the motor cortex and spinal cord. He developed a tool to estimate high-fidelity muscle activations from multi-muscle EMG recordings, enabling the study the how the motor nervous system generates muscle activations across a variety of behaviors. Subsequently he began a postdoctoral position with Prof. Nicholas Au Yong at Emory.
