I graduated (B.Sc Special in Mathematics) from the Faculty of Science, University of Peradeniya with second class upper division in the year 2005. ThenI received my Master of Science degree specialized in Applied Statistics from the University of Peradeniya in the year 2012. Also I received the Master of Science degree in Opeerational Research from the University of Moratuwa in the year 2016. I Joint to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Faculty of Natural Sciences, the Open University of Sri Lanka as a Lecturer (Probationary) in September 2008. I worked as a temporary lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, University of Peradeniya form 2005 to 2007 and thereafter I worked as a temporary instructor in the Department of Engineering Mathematics, University of Peradeniya till 2008.
