Navindu Dinara Gajanayaka completed his Bachelor of Science Honours in Marine and Freshwater Sciences at the University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka, in 2021. Since 2022, he is pursuing a combined Master's/PhD program in Marine Convergence Engineering (Marine Biotechnology) at the University of Science & Technology (UST), Daejeon, South Korea. His research focuses on the discovery and characterization of microbial CAZymes involved in the degradation of marine algal polysaccharides, with particular emphasis on ulvan lyases and the biochemical properties of their enzymatic products. His work contributes to a broader understanding of enzymatic mechanisms underlying marine biomass degradation, with potential applications in biotechnology and sustainable bio-based industries. He conducts his research as a student researcher at the Jeju Bio Research Center, Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST), Jeju, South Korea, where he has access to diverse marine biological resources supporting his investigations into novel enzyme discovery.
