Sanjeeva Balasuriya is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Adelaide. He has held positions at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, Oberlin College, Ohio, Connecticut College, and the University of Sydney. His work in ordinary differential equations is inspired by many applied areas, and he has published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, Combustion Theory and Modeling, and Physical Review Letters, among other journals. He was the advisor to a University of Adelaide team that won the INFORMS Prize at the 2015 Mathematical Contest in Modeling and was awarded the 2006 J. H. Michell Medal for outstanding early career researcher in applied mathematics by Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ANZIAM).
