Kasun Fernando Akurugodage

Dr. Kasun Fernando Akurugodage is a Lecturer in Mathematics at Brunel University London, within the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. He is a member of the EPSRC Mathematical Sciences Early Career Forum, blending expertise in probability theory, dynamical systems, and machine learning.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (2018), University of Maryland; BSc in Mathematics, University of Colombo.

Research Interests: He focuses on statistical properties of dynamical systems, Markov processes, and higher-order asymptotics for limit theorems, employing spectral theory and techniques from probability, stochastic analysis, and statistics. Recent work explores machine learning applications to dynamical systems and interdisciplinary research opportunities.

Publications span limit theorems, Edgeworth expansions, large deviations, and robust normalizing flows, with a 2025 paper on unbounded observables in ergodic theory. His work bridges theoretical and applied mathematics, including outreach initiatives in Canada, Sri Lanka, and the U.S.
