FROM MPHIL TO PROMOTION – NEVIL’S INSPIRING STORY

I am thrilled to share a moment of pride and achievement as my supervisee, Nevil Wickramathilaka, reaches a significant milestone in his career. After completing his MPhil in Geoinformatics at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia with a perfect CGPA of 4.00, Nevil has not only excelled academically but has also made remarkable contributions to the field.

His dedication over the past two (2) years has been truly inspirational. Nevil has published five (5) journal articles in renowned Scopus/WoS indexed journals, presented his innovative research at four (4) international conferences, received two (2) prestigious awards, and registered three (3) intellectual properties related to his groundbreaking work in traffic noise visualization and noise absorption assessment via spatial interpolation.

Today, I had the honor of writing a recommendation letter for his promotion at John Kotelawala Defence University, which reflects his hard work and potential. His promotion comes with a well-deserved salary increase of around 150%.

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” — Pele
