I’m from Sri Lanka and I completed my undergraduate studies in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka. I joined to the Tivanski's lab in Fall 2017. Right now, I’m studying Sea Spray Aerosols using Atomic Force Microscopy, to characterize and identify several physicochemical properties that affect the climate. I’m also a fan of books and movies.
