Dianne Wiley

Professor Dianne Wiley is a Chemical Engineer and Honorary Professor at the University of Newcastle, where she serves as Dean of Engineering. She is a global leader in membrane systems for water treatment and technoeconomic analysis of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Her work spans fundamental research and industrial applications, focusing on climate resilience, energy systems, and sustainable engineering solutions.

• Key Affiliations:
  • University of Newcastle (2022–present)
  • University of Sydney (2016–2022)
  • UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology

Research Interests include:

• Carbon capture, transport, and storage (CT, pipeline optimization)
• Membrane science for water/wastewater treatment
• Technoeconomic modeling of industrial decarbonization
• Flexible CCS operation and renewable energy integration
• Advanced oxidation and photocatalytic processes

Publication Trends reveal a focus on CO2 mitigation strategies (2016–2025), membrane fouling/scaling (1985–2021), and catalyst design (2022–2025). Her work bridges chemical engineering, environmental systems, and industrial decarbonization.
