Chammika N. B. UDALAGAMA

Chammika N. B. Udalgama serves as Senior Lecturer at the National University of Singapore, specializing in nuclear microscopy and ion beam applications. His research bridges physics, engineering, and biological imaging through advanced simulation and instrumentation development.

His educational foundation includes a PhD from the National University of Singapore (2006).

Dr. Udalgama's research centers on Monte Carlo simulations of MeV ion penetration and energy deposition mechanisms, with significant contributions to data acquisition systems for ion beam analysis. His work explores secondary electron cascades (delta-rays) as primary energy deposition modes, advancing understanding of ion-matter interactions at microscopic scales. This research directly enables applications in single-cell imaging, microfabrication, and microfluidics.

Analysis of his 2009-2011 publications reveals consistent focus on nuclear microscopy instrumentation, particularly proton beam writing techniques and high-resolution biological imaging. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary integration across physics, engineering, and life sciences, with emphasis on practical system development for research applications.

He actively contributes to the Singapore High Resolution Single Cell Imaging Facility and has developed microfluidic sorting systems utilizing optical force switching mechanisms, demonstrating translational research from simulation to functional devices.
