Rate My Professor Nimsiri Abhayasinghe

Dr. Abhayasinghe's research interests focus on gait analysis, inertial sensors, pedestrian navigation, and indoor positioning. These areas have practical applications in assistive technologies, such as indoor localization systems for visually impaired individuals using thigh-mounted inertial measurement units (IMUs) and mobile devices. He has published over 15 peer-reviewed papers, including 'Human Gait Phase Recognition Based on Thigh Movement Computed Using IMUs' (2014, co-authored with Iain Murray), 'A Gyroscopic Data Based Pedometer Algorithm' (2016), 'Human Gait Modeling, Prediction and Classification for Level Walking Using Harmonic Model' (2022), 'Efficient, Authentication and Access Control Implementation in Mobile Ad hoc Networks' (2012, co-authored with Prabath Lakmal Rupasinghe and Iain Murray), and 'A Context-Aware Doorway Alignment System with Depth Estimation for Intelligent Wheelchairs' (2025, co-authored with Shanelle Tennekoon, Nushara Wedasingha, Anuradhi Welhenge, and Iain Murray). His Google Scholar profile records 345 citations. At Curtin University, he contributes to supervisory roles in projects like engineering smarter wheelchairs for safer independence. Additionally, his work explores human activity recognition, step counting, and stride length estimation using gyroscopic data from thigh movements during walking, sitting, and standing.
