معرفی
Luca Fiori is a Full Professor at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento. His work integrates chemical engineering principles with environmental applications, focusing on sustainable technologies for biomass conversion and waste valorization.
- Education: Laurea in Chemical Engineering (1998), PhD in Chemical Engineering (2003)
- Academic Career: Researcher (2004), confirmed faculty (2007)
Research Interests: Specializing in two key areas: (1) Supercritical fluid extraction for food industry byproducts valorization, particularly grape seeds and agricultural waste; (2) Thermochemical conversion of biomass through pyrolysis and gasification. His work includes experimental setup of supercritical extraction labs and development of solid-gas equilibrium models for biomass conversion.
Recent Research Trends: Focus on hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for bioplastic disposal, wastewater treatment materials, and biofuel production. Collaborative projects bridge pulp&paper, waste treatment, and chemical industries through HTC integration.
- Scientific Awards:
- PAT-CRS 2007 funding for supercritical CO2 extraction research
Labs & Infrastructure: Developed ex novo supercritical fluid extraction laboratory and experimental gasification/pyrolysis apparatus. Specialized in MATLAB/Cantera modeling and CFD simulations for reactor design.
