About this Blog

This blog started out as a place to write down anything that interests me. So the posts in this blog do not follow any particular topic or theme. You will find posts about food, movies and why I don't eat fruits as well as posts about engineering, mining and the future of sustainable energy in this blog.

Recently, I started to post about things that I learn at university as a way to remember them better during exams. This, I found to be a useful practice and therefore decided to continue it. It has also benefited some of my friends, and I'll be extremely happy if these posts serve as a source of knowledge to someone. Being undergraduate in Earth Resources and Mining Engineering, this means that this blog will contain quite a lot of posts about mining, petroleum, geology etc. which I have labelled accordingly. But it will still have some random posts here and there.

About Me

I was born on 19th May 1990 in Colombo. I schooled at Wesley College Colombo from 1996 until I sat for my Ordinary Level examination in 2006. I was a junior prefect at school and I represented the school in badminton and swimming.

I joined Lyceum International School in 2007 for Advanced Level studies. I was appointed a prefect at Lyceum International School for the year 2008/09. I completed my journey in scouting by obtaining the president's scout award in 2008. I sat for the G.C.E. Advanced Level examination in the mathematics stream in August 2009.  I graduated from the University of Moratuwa with a BSc Engineering (Honours) degree in 2015 and worked as a research engineer at Lanka Hydraulic Institute (LHI).

I obtained my PhD in January 2020 and am currently working as Research Fellow at Monash University .
