I hold a four-year Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Hons) degree from the General
Sir John Kotelawala Defence University, Sri Lanka in the field of Electrical & Electronic
Engineering. I graduated with a 2.7 out of 4.2 including both technical and military subject
discipline. I am specialized in the field of Power & Energy Systems and Electronic Systems
during my undergraduate studies. I have published and presented my undergraduate
research works at International Research Symposium 2013, General Sir John Kotelawala
Defence University on “Feasibility Study on Offshore Based Wind Power Installation for Sri
Lanka” and as well as some other technical exhibitions. I did many extra-curricular activities
and social works in my school time and undergraduate period. I am an international and
national decorated sports shooting athlete and as well as a provincial level weightlifter. I hold
memberships at international professional engineering bodies such as IEEE (MIEEE 98455425)
and IET-UK (MIET 1101034715). I am now serving to the 7th battalion of Sri Lanka Electrical &
Mechanical Engineers Regiment as an Officer Commanding at a medium level workshop.
I obtained better results for key modules in Power Engineering such as, Power
systems, Electrical Machines & Drives, Electromagnetism, Power system protection and High
voltage engineering, Electrical installations, Renewable energy & Environment during my
undergraduate degree. I gained theoretical and hands on experience in power systems
condition monitoring, power system control and power system protection during my
undergraduate internship in the leading power system authority “Ceylon Electricity Board” in
Sri Lanka. And also, I am more curious on finding opportunities related to power engineering
and renewable energy. Given these interests, studying under the prestigious Linnaeus
University's experienced panel of professors who are pioneers in science and engineering
areas of study would be stimulating. It’s increased my curiosity and passion for a future career
in the field. So, I think I will be a suitable candidate for the master’s programme in Renewable
Electric Power Systems in Linnaeus University.
