I, Sebastian Reyalt Gnanapragasam, am currently attached to the Department of Mathematics as a Senior Lecturer. I graduated from the University of Peradeniya (PDN) in 2005 with B. Sc degree Specialization in Mathematics and worked as a Temporary Assistance Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics at PDN from 2005 to 2007. Then I moved to the Department of Engineering Mathematics at PDN as a Temporary Instructor till 2008. In 2008, I joined the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, The Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) as a Lecturer (Probationary). I completed an M. Sc in Applied Statistics at Postgraduate Institute of Science (PGIS), PDN in 2012. Later, in 2016, I earned another master degree, M. Sc in Operational Research at the University of Moratuwa. In 2016, I was promoted to the Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics, OUSL.
