2 Rappresentante dei Ricercatori nel Consiglio di Corso di Laurea in Ingegneria Chimica. Attività di ricerca Ha svolto la sua attività di ricerca in diversi ambiti, quali i processi di separazione per adsorbimento, la combustione e la cinetica delle reazioni chimiche, la sicurezza industriale e l'inquinamento ambientale. La matrice comune di tale attività è lo studio, attraverso una sperimentazione preliminare e una successiva modellazione matematica, dei fenomeni chimici, fisici e biologici caratteristici di ciascun ambito utilizzando gli strumenti concettuali propri della termodinamica, della cinetica chimica e dei fenomeni di trasporto. L'attività sperimentale concerne la progettazione, costruzione, messa a punto e utilizzo di apparecchiature pilota in scala di laboratorio. L'obiettivo ultimo è quello di ottenere dati sperimentali per lo sviluppo e la convalida di modelli matematici di simulazione dei principali fenomeni coinvolti. Nel complesso, l'attività di ricerca è riassunta in circa 100 lavori su riviste internazionali e altrettanti su riviste nazionali, libri e atti di congressi. Organizzazione, direzione e coordinamento di gruppi di ricerca Ha coordinato numerosi progetti di ricerca nazionali e internazionali (finanziati da soggetti sia privati sia pubblici, nazionali ed europei).
