[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Prof. C. J. A. Jayawardene is a Senior Professor in Mathematics (Professor from\u00a0 2016), at the University of Colombo and has worked as a visiting lecturer at University of Kelaniya, University of Sri Jayewardenepura and the Open University of Sri Lanka. He has also worked as a resource person in the Post Graduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya. In year 204, he was conferred a ‘long service award’ for 30 years of service at the University of Colombo. After obtaining his primary and secondary school education at Royal College, he was selected for the engineering stream but opted to follow the physical science stream at University of Colombo. He captained the University of Colombo, Swimming and Rowing teams in 1984 and 1985, respectively. He has obtained a first class (honours) Mathematics Special degree from the University of Colombo (1985) and was the recipient of the Justine Samarasekera Award\/Gold Medal for the most outstanding student in the Faculty of Science, University of Colombo. Subsequently, he has obtained 91% at the GRE Mathematics (subject) examination. While perusing higher studies in U.S.A., he has obtained \u00a0two Masters Degrees in Pure and Applied Mathematics (with 3.8\/4.0 GPA and 4.0\/4.0 GPA, respectively). Prof. Jayawardene has specialized in Network\/Graph Theory for his Doctoral Degree under Prof. C. C. Rousseau (Prof. Jayawardene has received a PhD with 4.0\/4.0 GPA \u00a0with A grades for all modules). For his Postdoctoral studies under Prof. B\u00e9la Bollob\u00e1s, he has published a joint research paper with Prof. B\u00e9la Bollob\u00e1s et at, on the topic of complete solution for Bondy and Erd\u00f6s conjecture when n=5. He has followed a project in Data Communication and Network Programming’ at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) under the sponsorship of the Asian Development Bank and a project in ‘Mathematical Modelling’ at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) under the sponsorship of UNESCO.<\/p>\n

After becoming a professor, Prof. Jayawardene has published 24 research papers in peer reviewed International Mathematical Journals on Graph Theory. According to the UGC Commission Circular 05-2018- based on google h<\/em> index, Prof. Jayawardene qualifies as a TIER 4 researcher which is recognized \u00a0as one of the highest levels of research accomplishments in the Sri Lanka University system. In total, he has conducted seven presentations at international Network\/Graph Theory conferences. He has written joint research papers with 11 academics from foreign universities and 12 academics from Sri Lankan universities. He has over 226 google scholar citations related to his\u00a0 publications in Mathematics. Currently, he is holding a position in the editorial board of\u00a0 \u00a0the \u2018Indonesian Journal of Combinatorics\u2019. His book chapter on \u2018Tripartite and Quadpartite Size Ramsey Numbers for all pairs of Connected Graphs on 4 vertices\u2019 recently appeared in the international textbook on \u2018Advanced Applications of Graph Theory in Modern Society\u2019. He has already published 12 books for O\/L, A\/L and University students. He has been the Advisor\/Supervisor for 8 Masters degree students who have obtained their Masters degrees from University of Colombo and 17 BSC Special degree students who have obtained their Mathematics Special degrees from University of Colombo. He has won a Presidential Award in 2002 for Mathematical Research and he was the Deputy Leader of the Sri Lankan team at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2003.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1562923264785{border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
