I was educated at University of Melbourne [Ph.D. and B.Sc.(Hons) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology] and currently serve as a Senior Lecturer in the Molecular Plant Sciences. I was born and have lived most of my life in Sri Lanka, but I'm infused with traces of influence from Australia and the Philippines where I have resided for significant time periods. I consider myself an old-fashioned romantic and a drifter of fate who meanders like a river unknowing of it's course. I am also a prime example of a late bloomer who loves the little things in life - quirky trivia, haiku poems and fireflies.Published at Smashwords:"Nine Tales Of Creation" (Anthology of Poetry from 9 Authors: Fabrizio Frosini, Daniel J.Brick, Dilantha Gunawardana, Lawrence Beck, Maia Padua, Mihaela Pirjol, Niken Kusuma Wardani, Simone Inez Harriman, S.zaynub Kamoonpuri).- "Scattering Dreams & Tales" (Anthology of Poetry - 13 Authors : Fabrizio Frosini, Daniel J.
