Biography
Darsha Jayathunga is a dedicated researcher and academic in the fields of mechanical and manufacturing engineering, with a focus on sustainable energy systems. She currently serves as a PhD researcher at University College Dublin (UCD), specializing in the fracture behavior of metal components produced via Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing.
Darsha's academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from the University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. She furthered her expertise by obtaining a Master of Science in Energy Management from the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL), where she also contributed to research on the massive solar photovoltaic potential in Sri Lanka .
In addition to her research, Darsha has been actively involved in various academic and professional endeavors. She has participated in international conferences, such as the Advances in Science and Engineering Technology (ASET) International Conference in Dubai, where she presented her work on image processing-based automated systems for the garment industry . Her contributions extend to publications in journals like A BioMed & Engineering Open Access Journal, where she co-authored articles on renewable energy solutions and energy systems .
Darsha is also affiliated with SLIIT International Pvt. Ltd, Sri Lanka, where she has been involved in engineering education and research. Her professional qualifications include memberships with the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL) and the Engineering Council of Sri Lanka (ECSL) .
Research Interest
lie primarily in the fields of mechanical and manufacturing engineering, with a strong emphasis on sustainable energy systems. Her work explores innovative approaches to improving energy efficiency, with a particular focus on renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic systems. She is also deeply engaged in the study of additive manufacturing, specifically the fracture behavior of metal components produced through Powder Bed Fusion (PBF).

Open Access Policy refers to a set of principles and guidelines aimed at providing unrestricted access to scholarly research and literature. It promotes the free availability and unrestricted use of research outputs, enabling researchers, students, and the general public to access, read, download, and distribute scholarly articles without financial or legal barriers. In this response, I will provide you with an overview of the history and latest resolutions related to Open Access Policy.
Sri Lanka is facing an energy crisis due to insufficient exploitation of renewable energy resources and high reliance on imported fossil fuels. Building-integrated PV (BIPV) systems are one approach that provides various benefits in countries with limited land areas and congested metropolitan regions for ensuring energy security. This study was conducted to evaluate the rooftop solar PV capacity and yearly electricity generation potential in selected provinces in Sri Lanka. The study found 115 km2 of rooftop area for solar PV installation in fo...ur Sri Lankan provinces; Sabaragamuwa, Western, Northern, and North Central with approximately 25 GW of solar PV installation capacity could lead to annual electricity generation of 45 TWh which could reduce carbon emissions by 20 million tCO2 per year.
