“I am overjoyed to have been accepted as a postgraduate student for an MPhil degree at UWU and to be able to work in a research discipline related to my passion for Forest Ecology. The perfect environment and high-tech facilities at UWU laboratories have made my research easy and comfortable. My research is concerned with trait-based approaches to community assembly, specifically the distribution of trait value among community components along environmental gradients. Field work is carried out in the Sinharaja lowland rainforest. I am so honored to have been supervised by experts in the research field, and I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. E. P. S. K. Ediriweera, for giving massive support to the success of this project. I hope that the skills I acquired while researching and writing will be enormously useful in advancing my career.”

“I am so privileged to have been enrolled for an MPhil degree at UWU as a postgraduate student and the knowledge expansion as a researcher is the best achievement of my academic life. The perfect environment of UWU facilitates high-tech laboratories that have made my research activities smooth. The outcome of my MPhil degree focuses on the value addition to Sri Lankan mineral resources thus strengthening the vision of UWU. The innovative products through value addition directly address the local and foreign industry hence opening new pathways for career opportunities.
