Viranga Perera's research spans two areas: planetary science studies of impact cratering and crust formation on the early Moon and Venus (using computer simulations to understand how debris impacts shaped planetary surfaces), and education research on team dynamics, gender equity, and diversity in STEM classrooms and labs. This combination suggests interest both in the physical processes of planetary formation and in improving how science and engineering are taught in group settings.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a peak around 2017-2018 and 2022, a gap in 2020, and a slower pace of about 2 publications per year in the most recent years.
