IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER DONE.

I am an Adjunct Instructor and tutor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. My research focuses on stochastic modeling, network based epidemiology, and mathematical biology, with applications to plant disease dynamics. Previously, I served as a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. 

I teach and support undergraduate mathematics courses, focusing on building student confidence in algebra, statistics, and problem solving.
