Confirmed Lecturer

Dept. of Mathematics

About me: I am a Confirmed Lecturer attached to the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, The Open University of Sri Lanka. I hold a B.Sc. (Hons) Special Degree in Mathematics from the University of Peradeniya, where I graduated with First Class Honors, received a University Award for Academic Excellence, and was recognized on the Dean’s List. I completed my Ph.D. at the Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya, in 2024. My research interests primarily lie in topology, nonlinear dynamics, and computational mathematics. I possess strong technical proficiencies in Python, Maple, COMSOL Multiphysics, Filmora Wondershare, Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and LaTeX.

Interests lay predominantly in the fields of topology, nonlinear dynamics and computational mathematics.
