Dr Veerasingam has been serving as a faculty member in the Department of Languages and Communication Studies at the Trincomalee Campus of Eastern University, Sri Lanka, since 2016. A PhD Scholar from Queen’s University Belfast and an Associate of Trinity College London, he brings over a decade of experience in higher education and service among youth. His commitment to youth development is evident through his service as a University Lecturer since 2014, his tenure as the National Coordinator in the Youth Department of the Methodist Church of Sri Lanka (2008–2009), and his role as a Member of the Sri Lankan Youth Parliament (2015–2016). A President Scout and an award-winning musician, drama actor, and orator, Dr Veerasingam is also a proud alumnus of St. Michael’s College Batticaloa, The Wendy Whatmore Academy Sri Lanka, Bangalore University (T. John College), Christ University Bangalore and Queen's University Belfast. His diverse cultural and linguistic exposure—shaped by his experiences in Batticaloa, Colombo, Bangalore, London, and Belfast—has deeply enriched his academic and social journey. As a resilient Tsunami survivor and a determined “Pandemic-PhD” scholar, Dr Veerasingam has demonstrated remarkable perseverance and faith in overcoming personal and academic challenges. He was recognised by Queen’s University Belfast with a Featured Graduation Story News for completing his PhD during the global COVID-19 pandemic and in the face of significant personal loss and economic upheaval. His research interests focus on South Asian Migration Experiences and Prosthetic Memory through diasporic literature, and he actively seeks collaboration with institutions and organisations dedicated to education, migration, diaspora and memory studies.

Recognition and appreciation of the PhD journey by Queen's University Belfast.
