Angelo Basile

Angelo Basile, a Chemical Engineer, is a senior Researcher at the ITM-CNR where is responsible of the research related to both the ultra-pure hydrogen production and CO2 capture using Pd-based Membrane Reactors. Basile is also Editor associate of the Int. J. Hydrogen Energy and Editor-in-chief of the Int. J. Membrane Science & Technol. and Editor-in-chief of Membrane Processes (Applications), a section of the international journal Membranes: Basile also prepared 42 special issues on membrane science and technology for many international journals (IJHE, Chem Eng. J., Cat. Today, etc.). He participated to and was/is responsible of many national and international projects on membrane reactors and membrane science. Basile served as Director of the ITM-CNR during the period Dec. 2008 – May 2009. In the last years, he was tutor of 30 Thesis for master and Ph.D. students at the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Calabria (Italy). From 2014, Basile is Full Professor of Chemical Engineering Processes.

MA

Maria Cristina Annesini

Maria Cristina Annesini is full professor of Chemical Engineering Fundamentals at the Faculty of Engineering of Rome University “La Sapienza” where now she teaches Transport Phenomena and Chemical reactors for undergraduate and graduate students respectively. Her research activity is supported by over 150 scientific works; in the biotechnological and biomedical fields, she studied phase equilibrium thermodynamics of complex mixtures involved in biotechnological processes, drug controlled release and enzymatic processes in liposomes, bioreaction engineering (in particular, two-pahse sequenting batch reators for xenobiotics removal), artificial organ engineering. In the last field, she studied the physico-chemical phenomena involved in artificial liver devices, based on albumin-bound toxin removal by adsorption or albumin dialysis, and proposed mathematical models to “engineer” the artificial device or to model the artificial device-patient system. She also active in studying transport phenomena in membrane reactors, for hydrogen separation in reforming processes
