Enzo Mangano

Dr. Enzo Mangano is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on adsorption science, nanoporous materials, and carbon capture technologies. He leads projects on material characterization using advanced techniques like the Zero Length Column (ZLC) and the Adsorption Differential Volumetric Apparatus (ADVA). His work addresses diffusion mechanisms, gas storage, and separation processes in materials like zeolites and polyamides. Collaborations span global institutions, with studies published in Nature Communications and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

He has received the Chemical Engineering Teaching Lab-Silver Sustainability Award (2020) and contributed to datasets on face covering efficacy and carbon capture materials. Mangano supervises PhD students on topics like shale formation characterization and CO2 capture systems. He co-leads projects funded by EPSRC and industry partners, emphasizing sustainable energy solutions.

Key contributions include developing novel synthesis methods for CO2-selective ZIF-8 nanospheres and interlaboratory studies for adsorption isotherm standardization. His research bridges theoretical modeling and experimental validation, addressing challenges in mass transport and material variability.
