OverviewAI-generated summary

Lionel Hewavitharana's research focuses on the development and implementation of low-cost laboratory experiments for engineering education. His work includes the design, construction, and testing of prototype units for experiments such as the impact of a jet and hydrostatic force on submerged surfaces. He also investigates the capstone design experience within engineering programs, examining its model, implementation, and relevance to accreditation processes.

Hewavitharana's publications also extend to the fundamental science of materials, including work on tuning the surface plasmon resonance of gold dumbbell nanorods. His research network includes collaborators from Southern Arkansas University, such as Mahbub Ahmed and Abdel Bachri, as well as Grégory Guisbiers and Luke D. Geoffrion from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
