Yashaswin Dineth Bamunusingha
I’m Yashaswin Dineth Bamunusingha, a passionate and multidisciplinary individual whose work lies at the intersection of science, technology, design, and conservation.
Currently, I am pursuing a BS in Physics at the Open University of Sri Lanka, focusing on Physics, Computer Science, and Zoology. My academic journey is driven by a deep interest in optics, electronics, and applied experimental physics, especially how these fields can be innovatively integrated into zoology and wildlife research. My long-term goal is to bridge the gap between lab-based physics and field-based biology, using technical innovation to explore and better understand the behaviour and structures of wildlife.
I serve as a Volunteer Research Assistant at NEO Space, where I contribute to projects involving digital fabrication, prototyping, and scientific outreach. This role allows me to take theoretical concepts and transform them into practical, impactful tools—especially within conservation and education.
Creative Side
Beyond science, I’m also an experienced Print Designer and Creative Artist, with over six years of hands-on work in offset print media. I specialize in designing booklets, labels, packaging, and large-format promotional materials, and I freelance with clients across local and international markets. My design approach is informed by both precision and creativity—traits shaped by my scientific thinking and artistic background.
My Roots & Leadership
I began my academic journey at Mahinda Rajapaksha College – Homagama, where I pursued the Biological Science stream for my Advanced Levels. During school, I actively took on leadership and creative roles, including:
President of the Photographic Art Society
Chief Editor of the school’s monthly magazine
School Prefect, shaping student initiatives and culture
Theme Designer & Media Coordinator for major school events
These experiences honed my ability to blend vision, collaboration, and execution—skills that now power both my research and creative work.
