As a PhD fellow, Asha carries out her research project titled “Novel Energy Trading Models to encourage the use of Smart and Renewable Energy (SRE) Technologies”. This is co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Due to the interdisciplinarity of her project involving engineering, social science and business management perspectives, she is responsible for undertaking supervised scientific research activities which belong to all these disciplines. This includes preparing, conducting and recording outcomes of project related activities; interviews, experiments etc.
Before joining us in 2020, Asha worked as an instructor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. There, she worked with undergraduate students instructing them to conduct laboratory practical in power systems and related electrical engineering subject areas. The time spent in academia made her more passionate about the area of renewable energy.
