Encyclopedia of Membranes

Enrico Drioli has been working in Membrane Science and Membrane Engineering for many years. He is a Full Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials at the University of Calabria, where he founded the Institute of Membrane Technology of the Italian Research Council in 1993. He was President of the European Society of Membrane Science and Technology (today European Membrane Society) (1982 – 1998). He is also the author of more 530 scientific papers, 18 patents in the field of Membrane Science and Technology and 10 scientific books.Lidietta Giorno is a membrane biotechnologist with a strong background in biological science, chemical technologies and new materials. She has been involved in membrane science and engineering research and development for almost twenty years. She is Director of the Institute on Membrane Technology of the National Research Council of Italy, ITM-CNR. Lidietta Giorno is co-author of three books and some 70 peer-reviewed scientificpapers in international journals. She currently the President of the European Membrane Society (EMS) and editor of the EMS Membrane Newsletter.
