Synopsis:

In his farewell lecture at the University of Moratuwa, Professor Priyan Dias will bring together some of his research over the past 40 years, using the thread of connectivity. It will cover truss and road connectivity; system dynamics for concrete durability; neural networks for pattern recognition; structuring and interactions among various types of connected entities (e.g. in vulnerability, sustainability and degradation); socio-technical linkages (e.g. in resilience); and analogical transposition.

He was the founder Director of Research at the University (2014-2017), a member of the National Research Council (2005-2019), and an associate editor of Civil Engineering & Environmental Systems (2007 to date). He is currently President of the National Academy of Sciences of Sri Lanka.
