Bioenergy Systems for the Future

Francesco Dalena, degree in Chemistry with Ph.D. on "Translational medicine? at the Chemistry Department of the University of Calabria (Italy), is expert in "Chemistry of advanced materials". His research field ranges from the bioenergy sector to inorganic membrane reactors, to chemical kinetics and to the chemistry of artistic masterpiece. He is editor of various books, such as: "Hydrogen Production, Separation and Purification for Energy", 2016, IET Pub.; "Alcohol and bioalcohol: characteristic, proprieties and use", 2014, Nova Pub., "Methanol: Science and Engineering?, Elsevier Pub. Angelo Basile is a Full Professor and a leading authority in membrane science and technology. Since 2014, he has served as Full Professor in Systems, Methods and Technologies of Chemical Engineering Processes at CNR-ITM in Rende, Italy. His work covers hydrogen purification and production using membrane reactors, CO? capture, process intensification, and the treatment of industrial effluents with advanced membrane operations. Basile has edited many scientific books and authored numerous book chapters, bridging complex research with clear knowledge for engineers and scientists. Motivated by the role of AI/ML in accelerating membrane process design and automation, he supports integrating data-driven methods for smart plants and reaction-separation optimisation.
