Background
Dr Sandun Dissanayake, currently a Research Fellow at Â鶹´«Ã½AV, is leading the pilot-scale Turquoise Hydrogen Generation programme in collaboration with HyDEX. His expertise, developed through rigorous research, spans across multiple disciplines, including analytical and materials chemistry, as well as process systems development and scale-up.
Dr. Dissanayake’s academic journey culminated in the achievement of a Ph.D., reflecting his relentless pursuit of knowledge. His doctoral research focused on the recovery, synthesis, and application of catalytic nanomaterials and nanocomposites derived from natural minerals and rocks. This innovative work, although seemingly diverse, intersects at the core of sustainable energy solutions, specifically hydrogen production.
