I am a member of the committee that organises the Royal Institution’s mathematics masterclasses and enrichment activities in the Bristol area. These initiatives are designed to spark enthusiasm for mathematics among secondary school students through interactive sessions that explore topics beyond the standard curriculum.

About me
I am a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at School of Computing and Creative Technologies, UWE, Bristol, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA), UK, and a member of the Mathematics and Statistics Research Group (MSRG) at UWE, Bristol.
I also serve as the Champion of UWE's in-house algorithmic e-Assessment System (Dewis). I assist academic staff at UWE and our partner colleges in delivering effective formative and summative e-Assessments through various pedagogical approaches using the Dewis.
My research focuses on promoting and enhancing the student learning experience in Mathematics. I have developed some features in Dewis to diagnose and remediate Mathematical Common Students Errors (CSEs) in e-Assessments questions.
I am actively involved in the Research Agenda for e-Asessment of Undergraduate Mathematics' contributing to the development of a shared research agenda by collaborating with mathematics education researchers and university teachers.
I was privileged to contribute to the London Mathematical Society’s Equality and Diversity Success Stories Project. This initiative, designed to underscore the importance of diversity in the field, highlights a broad spectrum of individuals and their notable achievements in mathematics. The link to my Success Story.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, a master’s degree in mathematics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden, and a PhD from UWE Bristol. Before joining UWE Bristol, I held academic positions at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, Lancaster University, UK, the British Council, Singapore, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
