Dilshan Fernando's research focuses on political economic analysis of disability and its impact on development. He has field-work experience in Myanmar, India and Sri Lanka conducting research about how the emerging technologies change the lives of marginalized people. He is a Research Fellow at LIRNEasia, Colombo.

I work as the CIRCLE student writer currently. I look forward to engage and attract more graduate students with CIRCLE, and India and South Asia related research. One key initiative that I have in mind to develop is the Canada-India Graduate Student Conference.
