Biography
I am an aspiring molecular neuroscientist with a keen interest in acquiring and sharing knowledge. Having completed my BSc. (Hons) research at the University of Oxford, in a molecular neuroscience laboratory, I became fascinated by how the brain works and was curious to learn more. Consequently, I was awarded a Westpac Future Leaders Scholarship to pursue a PhD in developing novel technologies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory. I completed my PhD in February 2023.
I love to travel (to experience new cities and cultures) and in my spare time I play the piano, volunteer at hospitals and tutor students hoping to nurture a love of learning as I am particularly passionate about advocating the importance of education and scientific innovation benefiting society.
Sachithrani identifies as culturally and linguistically diverse.
