My Fulbright research transforms mineral extraction to fuel the renewable energy revolution. Through the innovative Slow Releasing Energy Material Agent (SREMA), I aim to enhance mineral recovery, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact—meeting the critical need for sustainable resources to power batteries, electrification, and a greener future.

Professor Ranjith Pathegama Gamage is a global leader in geomechanics engineering and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering. Based at Monash University, he has pioneered research in renewable energy, carbon sequestration, and hydrogen storage.

As a Fulbright Scholar, Ranjith will collaborate with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to develop innovative technologies for sustainable mineral recovery, supporting the global energy transition.
