Leadership

Gravitational repulsion (Antigravity) and attraction, and fundamental concepts of energy propagation (Intrinsic Spin – ISpin model) are Dr. C. K. Gamini Piyadasa’s current research interests.  His research in both the fields have yielded promising results, giving rise to recent publications in: gravitational repulsion and attraction, and energy propagation in free space.  In combination, these findings lead to the Unified Field Theory (UFT) envisioned by Dr. Albert Einstein. Having started his research carrier in Atmospheric and Thunderstorm Physics, by 1990, Gamini observed many anomalies in present understandings.  One was a major foundation in science on <em>propagation and nature of energy in universe</em>.  Conducting research on that, he published experimentally proven demonstratable properties of wave nature by interference and diffraction (opposed to the theoretically derived Fresnel-Fraunhofer diffraction principle).  A new interpretation by Gamini to the famous Youngs’ Double Slit Interference has led to the new pathway to understanding the nature of energy propagation; based on which, Gamini experimentally developed the ISpin theory.  Applying the concept of “ISpin” model, he subsequently published the refined version of Energy Propagation as: <em>“The heuristic model of energy propagation in free space, based on the detection of a current induced in a conductor inside a continuously covered conducting enclosure by an external radio-frequency source”</em>. By 2009, Gamini’s series of experiments in atmospheric physics led to revealing insights of gravitational repulsion in numerous phenomena both in the laboratory environment and in the nature.  The experiments are proving that almost all macroscopic and microscopic phenomena that we experience in nature are governed by the two forces gravitational repulsion and attraction. Gamini is an instrumentalist and an experimentalist, who obtained his PhD from University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, in collaboration with Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.  In the PhD research programme focused on development of Mass Spectrometry techniques, he revolutionised by demonstrating world’s highest Time-of-Flight (ToF) resolution adapting linear successive reflection of molecular ions and other improved mass spectrometry techniques. The patent US-6,489,610 B was obtained by Gamini for improved mass selection technique in the ToF Mass Spectrometer, which has greatly pushed up the standard limits by 20-fold; going against/challenging the existing theories.  The instrument which significantly changed the single mass selection resolution in Time-of-Flight (ToF) Mass Spectrometry is still being manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific – Applied Biosystems, and is one of the essential tools in protein characterisation. Gamini’s passion is to pursue results that are: closer to experience, experimentally proven, demonstratable and generalisable across various contexts.  His presentations are always based on experimentally verified data (not theoretical visualisations) and conclusions that can be reached by any layman who is curious about nature.  He has published research publications on different disciplines in Physics and Engineering; viz. mass spectrometry techniques, Interference and Diffraction Optics, Electromagnetism, Antigravity and Power System Engineering. <strong>Gamini has received an array of awards and grants:</strong> <ul> <li>International Invention Award Switzerland</li> <li>Presidential Award Sri Lanka</li> <li>Fellowship NSF, National Science Foundation Sri Lanka</li> <li>Sweden Uppsala University Carl Tryggers Fellowship 2001/02</li> <li>University of Manitoba Grant National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) 2003/06 – 2011/14</li> </ul> Gamini’s life’s purpose is to contribute something to the knowledge of the world, by critically viewing natural phenomena.  He pursues hobbies of loving animals and nature.  Helping others makes him happy. <b>Antigravity</b> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">C.K Gamini Piyadasa, </span><b>Antigravity, an answer to nature’s phenomena including the expansion of the universe</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Advances in high Energy Physics, Special issue : </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dark Matter and Dark Energy in General Relativity and Modified Theories of Gravity, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">  (2020) 1-5, </span><a href="https://nextgenphysics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/1st-Antigravity-an-answer-to-natures-phenomena-including-the-expansion-of-the-universe.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Click to Download</span></a></li> <li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">C.K Gamini Piyadasa, </span><b>Anti-gravity, a major phenomenon in nature yet to be recognized, Physics Essays, 32, 2 (19) 141- 150 </b> <a href="https://nextgenphysics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/3rd-Antigravity-a-major-phenomena-yet-to-be-recgnized.pdf">Click to Download</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>C.K.G.

How intelligent beings naturally learn and improve: Reflective Practice and Metacognition are among Dr. D. Darshi De Saram’s interests. He endeavours to: <ul> <li>Change the focus of management to natural ways we work and learn.</li> <li>To bring back attention on management aspects that intelligent beings naturally feel, recognise and synthesise, but often ignored in today’s management trends.</li> </ul> He promotes everyone to think beyond systemic cause and effect rationality to appreciate: Complexity and Chaos, Evolutionary Dynamics, Bandwagoning, Spontaneous Self-organisation, Sensitivity to Initial Conditions, Perceptual Reorganisation, and so on. Darshi pioneered the application of the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) in construction research. Developed an alternative to the process-based approach for evaluating the quality of professional performance. He conducts qualitative research into Organisational Dynamics and Complexity. With a Mechanical Engineering background, Darshi joined the Construction Industry to handle Mechanical aspects of Construction. His work soon expanded to Coordinating and Managing Electrical and Civil work aspects as well, where he actively reflected on experiences to maximise learning. Darshi observed challenges in Coordination and Management, leading to failure in applying technical knowhow, thus projects losing opportunities to deliver benefits. This interested him to focus his postgraduate research on Quality of Coordination activities during the Construction process. He worked in varying roles in different regions across the world. Darshi brings construction experience in commercial, residential and industrial building, MEP, plant erection, external mains, and highway, across multidisciplinary, culturally diverse, and transnational contexts. He accumulated wide experience being active in: design, maintenance, manufacturing, marketing, research and teaching; Multidisciplinary and Multicultural Experience. Darshi taught at the Native American educational outreach programme ‘Pre-Engineering Educational Collaborative (PEEC)’. He achieved the award ‘Advanced Communicator Gold’ at Toastmasters International. Putting a smile on another living being’s face, is what makes Darshi happy.

Graduate student Thilini likes to look at things from a new perspective. She firmly believes that there should be a hidden mechanism behind the existence of humans and the world that cannot be described by present theories because she believes that everything in nature has hidden physical mechanisms that go beyond what we can now grasp.Since she was a young girl, she had a tremendous desire to become a scientist. She demonstrated her courage by receiving an honors degree in physics, her area of interest. One of her key goals is to learn more about the physical world through this subject. She places a great importance on egalitarianism since she considers all people to be on an equal footing regardless of their disparities in religion, ethnicity, sexual identity, caste, or employment. She treats everyone with respect and promotes kindness and love without seeking anything in return. She is constantly eager to assist people. She wanted to raise the quality of life for every being on the globe by at least one point. She dedicated her time as a first-year student at the university to building a library with all the amenities at Kekirawa Central College in Anuradhapura. Thilini enjoys imparting her education to others, particularly students. Before pursuing higher education, she gave voluntary lessons to village students. She also held a teaching position at Daham School. She also improved her expertise while working as a teaching assistant at the university. While there, she expanded her knowledge of laboratory work and university teaching. She made the decision to take an internship position as a trainee in the meteorological department since she enjoys learning about the atmosphere and its workings. She contends that in order to get the department's work done efficiently and effectively, it would be more practical to replace some personnel with machines and technological equipment. While working in this department, she completed a project called "Case Study of an Extreme Rainfall Event" that gave her further expertise in research. Thilin is employed by CodeGen International Pvt. Ltd. as a research assistant. She is now more interested in the world while also being more focused on her main objective. Thilini's favorite pastimes include reading, traveling, and lending a hand to others.
