PhD Title: Green Hydrogen for Heavy Transport Applications in WA
Heshani’s research has a strong focus on the technological considerations of hydrogen production, transport, and distribution for use as transport fuel in Western Australia, aiming to pave the way for sustainable and efficient hydrogen-based solutions. As part of this research, Heshani is actively involved in the production, handling, and monitoring of dedicated hydrogen trucks, obtaining crucial real-world data from hydrogen-powered test vehicles. This project plays a pivotal role in advancing the understanding and practical implementation of hydrogen as a clean and viable fuel source for transportation.
Heshani is a PhD candidate at the University of Western Australia. Prior to this, Heshani earned a B.Sc. in Engineering in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering in 2018. Subsequently, Heshani completed a MEng in Water Engineering and Management at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, in 2020.
