Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Lionel Hewavitharana's research focuses on the development of low-cost laboratory experiments for undergraduate engineering programs. His work includes the design, construction, and testing of prototype units for experiments such as "Impact of a Jet" and "Hydrostatic Force on a Submerged Surface." He has also investigated the tuning of surface plasmon resonance in gold dumbbell nanorods. Hewavitharana's publications also address the implementation and relevance of capstone design experiences within university engineering curricula, particularly in relation to ABET accreditation processes. He has collaborated with researchers from Southern Arkansas University and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock on these projects.
