I am a computational physicist passionate about empowering researchers to push the boundaries of discovery through advanced computing. With over a decade of experience in condensed matter physics, research computing, data science, and high-performance computing, I help teams across disciplines turn ambitious ideas into scalable, high-impact research. As a Sr. Engagement Specialist with Duke Research Computing, I work with researchers and educators across the Duke community and throughout North Carolina to advance discovery through collaboration, innovation, and computational expertise.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Ab-Initio Materials Simulation (AIMS) lab at Duke University, where I developed and applied computational methods to design and characterize novel materials for semiconductor and energy applications.
I earned a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka and a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from West Virginia University.
