23 July 2025

IronOne Technologies is pleased to announce that its AI research division, IronOne AI Labs, has received the Best Industry Impact Award at the Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (ADScAI) Summit 2025, organized by the University of Moratuwa.

The winning research, titled “ATradGPT: Leveraging Agentic AI to Enhance Stock Trading Education and Accessibility in Capital Markets,” was presented by a talented team comprising Narada Wijerathne, Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Theekshana Samaradiwakara, Senior Machine Learning Engineer, and Hammad Rizwan, Intern – Machine Learning Engineer.

Their work introduces an AI-powered framework designed to make stock trading education more intelligent, more adaptive, and significantly more accessible. With a focus on real-world applicability, the solution has already been deployed with clients who are using it to enhance financial literacy and market participation. This immediate translation of research into industry use is what distinguished the project and led to its recognition at the summit.

Reflecting on the achievement, Lushanthan Sivaneasharajah, Head of Data Science at IronOne Technologies, stated,

ATradGPT is a reflection of how we are combining technical depth with practical outcomes, enabling more accessible and intelligent engagement with capital markets. I am proud of the team’s ability to deliver research that is both academically rigorous and commercially relevant.”

The ADScAI Summit 2025, held at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Moratuwa, brought together academics, researchers, and industry professionals to explore current developments in artificial intelligence and data science. IronOne AI Labs played an active role throughout the event, not only through the award-winning research, but also by hosting a hands-on workshop that explored topics such as Small Language Models, Agentic AI systems, supervised fine-tuning, and explainability in model behavior.

The award underscores IronOne’s ongoing commitment to building AI systems that serve real-world needs and unlock new possibilities across industries. From research to deployment, IronOne AI Labs continues to push the boundaries of what artificial intelligence can deliver for the future of capital markets.
