University of Moratuwa’s recently initiated Inaugural Lecture Series brings out the newly appointed professors to the public view. The objective being to communicate and inspire with their research and societal impact with, of course, the intention of generating more interaction and positive connectivity.

An Inaugural lecture represents a significant milestone in a university academics career when one observes the practice elsewhere. The event celebrates their promotion to the rank of Professor or other Professorship at the University.

University of Moratuwa, Faculty of Graduate Studies is hosting the event as a public event. As a hybrid event anyone who is interested can join in and celebrate a career in research as one prepares for even more contribution subsequently. The inaugural lecture will offer both in-person and virtual access through Zoom and Facebook Live.

The seventh lecture in the series is by Department of Chemical and Process Engineering Professor Shantha Egodage and she will speak on ‘My Journey with Polymers: Blending of Rubbers and thermoplastics – Challenges and Opportunities’. The event will take place on 26 May at 3.00 p.m.
