(Note from Education Forum: We found not much content about Prof. Kodagoda available in the web. There is no wikipedia page. Even the number of photographs of him is extremely limited. Google Scholar search, an indication of a credibility of a scholar as seen by some though sometimes very misleading, gives only 6 hits for Prof. Kodagoda. One way the former students and well wishers can pay tribute to Prof. Kodagoda is to improve this content so his good work will not be forgotten.)
