About Centre

Introduction

The Research and Development Centre for Mathematical Modelling is a research centre affiliated to the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Colombo. It was established in 2012 under the pioneering guidance of Dr. J. K. Wijerathna and Dr. S. S. N. Perera with the expectation of providing a vibrant platform for both established and budding young researchers to undertake multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research activities through Mathematical Modelling.

The research conducted in the centre is based on both Theoretical and Applied Mathematics, and mainly focuses on developing practical solutions for real-world problems of vital importance.

Currently there are several graduate students who are diligently involved in research activities attached to The Research and Development Centre for Mathematical Modelling in pursuit of their MPhil and PhD programmes.

Vision

The vision of the Research and Development Centre for Mathematical Modelling is to become an internationally acclaimed centre of excellence for cutting-edge and ground-breaking research that is aimed at providing innovative solutions to the real-life problems with a timely significance.

Mission

The mission of the Research and Development Centre for Mathematical Modelling is to promote and widen the use of mathematical modelling as a robust and intriguing tool for enhancing the quality and rigour of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research projects. To provide the required guidance, training, and resources in order to empower scholarly research work and increase external funding of research programmes through grants and scholarships.
