Work with thought leaders and academic experts from University of Peradeniya

I am a hardworking and self-motivated scientist with a decade of research and development experience in academia. Currenly, I am working as a postdoctoral scholar at University of Arizona and I am working on developing electrochemical and electrophysiological sensors for detecting biological analytes. In my previous position as a postdoctoral scholar at Rice University I worked on developing an electrochemical platform that was used to study the electron transfer properties of iron-sulfur cluster proteins and I published 3 articles in 3 years. I gained my PhD. in Physics from University of Texas at Dallas in 2017 and in my thesis work I developed an electrochemical platform that can follow anti-cancer drug activity. <br>
