Bio I undertake research, project work and outreach on environment, technology, and development with a focus on the tropics. I have worked in Chemical, Civil and Mechanical Engineering and in Applied Mathematics departments at the University of Peradeniya, Yale University and the Institute of Fundamental Studies. At present, I am working on climate adapatation at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society within the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Interests My interest lies broadly in the areas of environment and technonology in the tropics. I have worked in Sri Lanka and Botswana in some depth. For the work in Sri Lanka, I collaborate with various agencies and support the Foundation for Environment, Climate and Technology. In Botswana, I work with partners in the Meteorological Service. During the time of Tsunami across the Bay of Bengal, we worked to bring scientific information and communication tools to assist relief, recovery and reconstruction. I also try to write for non-technical audiences – there are links above pointing to further information. Visit website »
