Mer om författaren

Didem Saloglu, a Chemical Engineer, is an Assoc. Prof. Dr. at Istanbul Technical University and Vice Director of Disaster Management Institute. She has a long experience in the field of general chemical engineering, adsorption, extraction, purification, biotechnology, composite materials, industrial pollution, explosion, emissions, wastewater treatment, and microwave assisted extraction. Dr. Saloglu has more than 35 scientific contributions as international peer reviewed articles, with a total 186 citations. She has 8 scientific papers in national peer reviewed articles, 2 international and 4 national book chapters, and 58 papers in national and international congresses. She is a reviewer for 45 national and international journals. Dr. Saloglu is also editor of the Water Science and Technology. She is involved as scientific responsible or main investigator in different national projects with The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Scientific Research Projects Units of Universities, and private companies and also international projects funded by European Union. 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, CO₂ 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. Alfredo Cassano has worked as a Researcher at CNR-ITM in Italy since 2000. Trained in Biology, he specializes in membrane science and technology, including conventional membrane processes, membrane contactors, and integrated membrane operations used for wastewater treatment and agro-food applications. He has led or directed research through numerous national MIUR-funded projects, as well as European Union international projects and industry collaborations. Cassano contributes to the scientific community through editorial-board roles and has co-authored several books, numerous journal articles, and chapters, alongside conference and invited work, and two national patents. His interests include recovering bioactive compounds from by-products, membrane distillation, osmotic distillation, and wastewater remediation, motivated by bridging membrane technology with practical AI/ML and real-time monitoring to advance circular economy resource recovery.
