Harshana Rajakaruna

Harshana is a PhD student working under the supervision of Mark Lewis. Currently, he is working on developing a model that incorporates mean and higher order moments of first passage times to, and risks of, biological invasions using stochastic differential equations approximating Fokker-Planck equations. He is looking at how different types of stochasticity influence invasions in order to answer the question as to why some species invade certain localities while others not.
