About me
I am a chartered architect, researcher, and academic, currently serving as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment and Spatial Sciences, General Sir Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) since 2021. I hold a PhD from University of Moratuwa, with a thesis focused on ‘In-situ Mud-Concrete’ as a material for load-bearing walls and sustainable building practices. I also completed a postgraduate diploma in Urban Design and a Bachelor of Architecture degree with first-class honours from the same institution. I have extensive professional experience more than 12 years in the industry, working on various architectural projects in Sri Lanka. I established my architectural practice after becoming a chartered architect in 2015. My research interests include sustainable material innovation for local communities, disruptive building technologies to improve climate-sensitive built environment and policymaking for a livable urban environment.
