Rohith Prakash, a PhD student from Chennai studying at Monash University in Melbourne, has been granted the prestigious Maitri Scholars Program scholarship funded by the Australian government. His research focuses on optimizing the transport and storage of liquid hydrogen to enhance its viability as a renewable energy source. Liquid hydrogen, stored at ultra-low temperatures, faces challenges like boil-off during transportation, which Prakash aims to mitigate. This work is crucial for advancing cleaner energy alternatives and decarbonizing sectors like aviation. Prakash's research aligns with both Australia's and India's renewable energy goals, supporting initiatives like India's National Hydrogen Mission and the Green Hydrogen Taskforce. The scholarship emphasizes international collaboration and academic excellence, with Dr. Tom Hughes leading the project at Monash University. The Maitri Scholars Program symbolizes the commitment to academic ties between the two countries, showcasing a positive sentiment towards deepening economic and educational collaboration in clean energy solutions.
