Rate My Professor Anuruddhika Jayasinghe

Anuruddhika Jayasinghe is an accomplished civil engineer and academic associated with Curtin University. She holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and a BSc in Civil Engineering (Honours) from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. She is also an Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka (AMIE(SL)). Throughout her career, she has held positions as Senior Lecturer Grade I at the Open University of Sri Lanka, where she taught courses such as Geotechnical Design (CVX7241) and Geotechnics (CVX6444), and as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, at the University of Ruhuna. There, she instructed advanced subjects including Geotechnical Engineering Design (CE 7304) and contributed to laboratory facilities and testing in geotechnical areas.

Dr. Jayasinghe's research specializations lie in geotechnical engineering, geomechanics, soil mechanics, and gas hydrate-bearing soils, with applications to infrastructure safety and energy engineering. Her key publications demonstrate her impact in these areas. These include 'Bonding Strength by Methane Hydrate Formed among Sand Particles,' examining hydrate-induced strength in sands; 'Experimental low temperature water content in gaseous methane, liquid ethane and liquid propane in equilibrium with hydrate' (2013), detailing experimental measurements for hydrate systems; 'Gas hydrates in low water content gases: Experimental measurements and modelling using the CPA equation of state' (2013), integrating experiments and thermodynamic modeling for pipeline applications; 'Enhancing dam safety: an integrated framework for dam safety management' (2025, International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment), proposing a comprehensive safety framework; and 'A Review of Research and Practice on the Theory and Technology of Reservoir Dam Risk Assessment' (2025). Additionally, she participated in the Sri Lankan Geotechnical Society workshop on Eurocode 7 for Geotechnical Design, enhancing her expertise in international standards. Her work supports advancements in soil-hydrate interactions and dam risk mitigation.
