About
Thusitha Wickramarachchi is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of materials chemistry and industrial process optimization, with a primary focus on corrosion science and surfactant chemistry. Their most notable contribution is the development of a systematic framework for formulating corrosion inhibitors by integrating Design of Experiment (DOE) methodologies with High Throughput Experimentation (HTE) techniques. In their key 2021 paper, Wickramarachchi demonstrated how Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) can serve as a reliable, high-throughput indicator for predicting a surfactant-based inhibitor’s ability to partition between oil and water phases—a critical factor in pipeline and industrial corrosion protection. This approach enables the rapid discovery of highly performing inhibitors while minimizing trial-and-error experimentation. Although early in their citation impact (3 citations on this work), the methodological innovation is significant for researchers in corrosion engineering and formulation science. Wickramarachchi’s work bridges fundamental surface chemistry with practical, data-driven design, offering a template for accelerating the development of effective, cost-efficient corrosion control solutions in energy and manufacturing sectors.
