Uvinduni I. Premadasa

R&D Associate - Nonlinear Spectroscopy and Microscopy

Uvinduni received her Ph.D. in 2020 from Ohio University, Athens where she worked under the supervision of Katherine Cimatu studying surface structures and molecular interactions at liquid surfaces using SFG spectroscopy. She then joined ORNL as a postdoc in January 2020 working with Ben Doughty and Yingzhong Ma to investigate complex biosystems using new nonlinear microscopy tools. In 2022 Uvinduni became an R&D Associate and her research evolves around the concept of using light to drive reactions and understand chemistry and dynamics in solutions and at interfaces.
