BIO

As a driven PhD Scholar at Deakin University, I am currently delving into conflict management in construction projects while incorporating team climate and stakeholder engagement concepts. Building on my robust foundation in Quantity Surveying from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, I have accumulated two years of insightful practical experience as a Contract Specialist, where I honed my expertise in contract administration, dispute management, claims management and project management. My academic and professional journey reflects a deep commitment to advancing knowledge and practice in the construction industry. Driven by a passion for improving project outcomes through effective conflict resolution and stakeholder engagement, I am currently focusing on articulating strategies for managing team dynamics and stakeholder relationships to foster more successful and harmonious construction projects.
