Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio)-Membranes

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. Kamran Ghasemzadeh is currently working as a senior research associate at the chemical engineering department, University of Manchester, UK since August 2022. At the same time, he has served as an associate professor in the chemical engineering department at Urmia University of Technology, Iran, wherein he developed research on membranes/membrane reactors for many processes.

Kamran Ghasemzadeh's h-index = 21, with 126 document results in a total of 1135 citations in the areas: Energy, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, and membrane technologies, (www.scopus.com - March 30/2023). He has more than 50 papers published in national/international congresses; and is a reviewer for 70 int. journals, an editor/author of more than 10 scientific books, and 45 chapters on int. books on membrane science and technology. Today Ghasemzadeh is collaborating with the Dept. of chem. Eng. at the University of Manchester (UK) on the valorisation of biomass by-products. He participated in various national and international projects on membrane reactors and membrane science. In the last years, he was the supervisor/co-supervisor of more than 38 Thesis for Master and Ph.D. students. Ghasemzadeh served as Director of the UUT research center during the period Sep. 2018 - April 2022.
