Be part of our dream team!
Our team is always looking for talented and motivated new scientists at the postdoc, graduate, and undergraduate levels.
We use computational catalysis, microkinetic modeling, high-throughput computations, and machine learning approaches to answer key questions in sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies including fuel cells, electrolyzers, hydrogen production, and more thus enabling a transition to a society based on CO₂-neutral sustainable energy resources.
Currently, we have an opening for a fully funded Ph.D. position starting in fall 2024.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Prospective postdoctoral fellows should fill out the application form (cover letter, CV, a 10-slide presentation that summarizes previous research accomplishments and arrange contact information for three references).

PhD Students
Admitted students to the University of Oklahoma should directly email Kasun.
Prospective graduate students should fill out the application form (cover letter, CV, a 5-slide presentation that summarizes previous research accomplishments and arrange contact information for three references). After selection, the student should apply directly through the University of Oklahoma, graduate college website. We welcome students from a range of multidisciplinary backgrounds, including Chemical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, and Chemistry.
All inquiries should be sent to ‘gunasooriya.lab@gmail.com’ and should include in the subject line "Prospective PhD: Gunasooriya Lab".
Students who are eligible to apply for several research fellowships before or after being admitted to the University of Oklahoma, including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, please contact Kasun if you are interested in submitting an application.
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students at the University of Oklahoma seeking research in a supportive and dynamic lab environment should email Kasun with a statement of interest and CV. We seek motivated and curious students from any discipline and during longer tenures, students can expect to become co-authors. Inquiries should be sent to ‘gunasooriya.lab@gmail.com’ and should include in the subject line "Prospective Undergraduate: Gunasooriya Lab".
