About Us

With the vision of exploring and developing novel and innovative electronics products and applications to be commercialized in domestic and international market through collaborative research with electronics industry, the Department of Physics and Electronics has established a high-end laboratory equipped with the state of the art of facilities which have named as Electronics Design and Innovation Centre. In the effort of mitigating the adverse effects caused by evolving urbanization with the modern technological advancement pave the way for the birth novel range of smart electronics such as smartphones. For further advancement of electronics and related industry, continuous research is needed through a multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder approach, and by a close cooperation among researchers with different, complementary interests and innovation attitude. It is believed that the establishment of electronics design and innovation centre well equipped with modern design and testing equipment dedicated for research and innovation will enable the emergence of novel products to the world while creating skilful personal in the field. The centre is to contribute to creating deep insights of consumer lifestyle, envisioning conceptual product that do not exist today and developing the technology to realize them. Five research assistants are actively engaged in developing several products. The research team has diverse expertise including supercapacitor assisted power electronics, PV energy harnessing, Organic Solar cell material development, Acoustic wave propagation control and Wireless power transfer etc. Electronics Design and Innovation Centre is at the Department of Physics and Electronics building its own image and uplifting the name of the University of Kelaniya ultimately contributing to the national economic development of the country.
