Kort om meg

Dr. S.M Samindi M.K Samarakoon is a professor (100% - since October 2022) in Structural Engineering (Concrete structures and materials) at the University of Stavanger, Norway. She worked as an associate professor from 2012 to 2022 at the University of Stavanger, Norway. She received a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, an M.Eng. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Asian Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Offshore Engineering and an equivalent PhD qualification in the durability of concrete structures from the University of Stavanger, Norway. Currently, she lectures on the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structures for B.Sc. students, the design and analysis of pre-stressed concrete structures, and the condition assessment of existing concrete structures for M.Sc. students. She also teaches a PhD course on "Selected Topics in Structural Engineering" at the Department of Mechanical and Structural Engineering and Materials Science, University of Stavanger, Norway.

Dr. Samarakoon is currently supervising B.Sc. and M.Sc. thesis projects, as well as PhD research projects. She has published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, as well as a book chapter. She has served as an ad hoc reviewer and a member of the technical committee for several international conferences and journals.
