On the third day of the Mathematics Department’s Research Lecture Series, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Mihiri De Silva, a distinguished lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kelaniya. Dr. De Silva holds a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and a Ph.D. from Texas Tech University, with research interests spanning Mathematical Biology, Dynamical Systems, and Differential Equations. In this engaging session, Dr. De Silva shared her expertise on the important skill of "Grant Writing." She discussed strategies for writing successful research proposals, securing funding, and her experiences navigating the world of academic grants.

We are grateful to Dr. Mihiri De Silva for her valuable insights and look forward to more enriching sessions in the lecture series.
