Research
Modeling, design and optimization of chemical and environmental processes
We develop new models and numerical tools for the process systems engineering related to environmental, energy, biochemical and chemical applications.
Process systems engineering for the production of biofuels and value-added chemicals
Our research group has focused on the feedstock valorization and the development of synthesis routes and processes for the pre-treatment, conversion, separation and purification of biofuels and value-added products.
Synthesis of porous materials for environmental and energy applications
Our targets are to prepare, characterize and evaluate novel adsorbents, catalysts and other porous materials for pollution control and energy-related applications including carbon dioxide sequestration and hydrogen storage.
About us
Our research group has expertise in separation systems for chemical and environmental processes and energy production. The research activity is at forefront within: modeling, design and optimization of chemical and environmental processes, process systems engineering of biofuels production, synthesis and use of adsorbents for environmental and energy applications.
We have performed different research projects and supervised undergraduate and graduate students. Our international collaborations include leading and respected researchers from a number of Universities and Research Centers.
