Chemistry students from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura have achieved the First Runner-Up position at the Inter-University Undergraduate Chemistry Quiz 2024. The prestigious event, organized by the Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science (SLAAS), took place on 17/08/2024 and featured teams from various universities across Sri Lanka.

The competition tested participants on their knowledge of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry and their problem-solving skills. The University of Sri Jayewardenepura team demonstrated exceptional knowledge and teamwork, narrowly missing the top spot but earning recognition for their outstanding performance.

The team consisted of five students from the Department of Chemistry: A.H.M. Amarakoon, D.M.B.G.D.T.H.B. Dissanayake, M.D.S. Fernando, M.S.N. Aaysha, and M.M.A.P.K. Wijerathne. Dr. Tharindu Senapathi mentored the team.

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura proudly congratulates our recent graduates on securing M.Sc. and Ph.D. positions at prestigious universities worldwide with full scholarships. We wish you an exciting journey filled with new adventures, incredible opportunities, and lifelong memories. May you soar to new heights and achieve even greater success. Congratulations on your well-deserved achievements! 

The Department of Chemistry is excited to announce the remarkable achievement of one of our Chemistry Special Degree undergraduate students at the 1^st International Research Conference on Chemical and Process Engineering (ChemEICon 2024), held on June 27th, 2024, at the University of Moratuwa. 

Ms. Harindi Shashinika Wirasagodaarachchi, under the mentorship of Dr. Isuri Weeraratne, was honored with the Best Extended Abstract Award for her abstract titled “Study of Aluminum Corrosion Inhibition Using Self-assembled Layers of Schiff Base Ligand” in the Process Technology and Innovation category.
