USJ alumni: CERI graduate student Anuradha Mahanama (Maha) becomes a finalist in the NASA InSightSeers Program
CERI PhD student in Geophysics and Seismology Anuradha Mahanama (Maha) received an opportunity to participate in the NASA InSightSeers program to expose early carrier scientists to experience working on a mission science team.
Maha graduated from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science Degree Specialized in Physics. He received a Masters’s degree from Bowling Green State University in 2019 and is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Memphis, Tennessee (The Centre for Earthquake Research Information – CERI)
InSight was a Mars geophysical mission that officially ended in 2022 but remains active with data analysis and archiving. Maha was one of the ten applicants chosen for this final round of the InSightSeers program based on his career paths and the alignment of their research interests with the mission’s scientific objectives.
We are proud and honoured to witness the success of one of our alums. Congratulations Maha, for your outstanding accomplishment, and we wish you the best in your future endeavours.
