From an upbringing in the Indian countryside, Mohan embarked on a journey to creating a better image of minerals extraction through diverse and high-impact research that is steadily changing policies and regulations, even beyond the mining sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s episode, we discuss the life cycle of mines and minerals from cradle to cradle and uncover the so-called resources trinity around remining, rehabilitating and repurposing thousands of holes in the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-attachment-id=\"1062\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/017-mohan-yellishetty\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tgcpodcast017_mohan_yellishetty_profilepic.jpg?resize=465%2C465&amp;ssl=1 465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id='buzzsprout-small-player-limit-5-artist-mohan-yellishetty'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' charset='utf-8' src='https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2083595.js?artist=Mohan+Yellishetty&#038;container_id=buzzsprout-small-player-limit-5-artist-mohan-yellishetty&#038;limit=5&#038;player=small'><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohan Yellishetty is an Associate Professor at Monash University, Australian Endeavour Fellow and Chartered Mining Engineer with an established teaching and research profile in the field of mining and environmental engineering. He has undertaken more than two decades of promising research and an altruistic academic career in Australia, USA and India, which enabled him to develop a portfolio of skills and impact in all aspects of the mining cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a Bachelor of Engineering in Mining from Osmania University, India and a Masters in environmental engineering at IIT Bombay, Mohan obtained his PhD in environmental engineering at Monash University in 2010. He spent two years as a Research Associate at Yale University, USA before returning to Monash. Mohan\u2019s research and academic work experience across these three countries have provided him the opportunity to undertake high impact research and to contribute significantly to the mining engineering discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohan has been recognised as one of the leading experts in the area of \u2018Sustainable Mineral Resources\u2019 and \u2018Life Cycle assessment\u2019. His key research and teaching strengths are in the areas of what is known as the \u2018Resource Trinity\u2019 (mine rehabilitation and closure, mine tailings and waste as well as critical minerals), Industrial ecology which includes life cycle thinking, substance flow and material flow analysis and critical and strategic mineral supply chains and assessment. Mohan works widely with several international mining companies, universities and research organisations, having positively influenced both public policy and industrial practice in his work. He co-founded the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monash.edu\/engineering\/critical-minerals-consortium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Critical Minerals Consortium<\/a> at Monash University in 2020 and now strives to create impact and awareness worldwide on the lingering issue of what to do with thousands of \u2018holes in the ground\u2019 after mine closure. You may see him frequently on the media including recent interviews by Al Jazeera, a feature in Australian Geographic and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources Related to the Episode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>(<em>Disclosure: Links on this page to &#8220;View on Amazon&#8221; are Affiliate links.
