Biographical Sketch:
Elisa Esposito received her degree in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Technology in 2012 from the University of Calabria. In 2015, she obtained the PhD in Environment, Health and Sustainable processes (Unical), ING-IND/24 principles of chemical engineering, macro-sector Chemical and Materials engineering. From 08/06/2014 to 15/01/2015 she spent a research period at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon (Portugal). From 2016 to 2020 she has been working as a research fellow at ITM-CNR where she has been became a full-time researcher in July 2020. Here, she was involved in different international and national projects such as M4CO2, CO2-4Food, CNR-CAS bilateral project, CNR-FCT bilateral project, PON 01_01840 –MicroPERLA. She received awards in the fields of environmental, renewable energy and chemistry. In 2018, She was awarded as the “best oral presentation” during the International Conference on Carbon Dioxide. In 2019, She received "Young Investigator Awards" in Green Chemistry by the Department of Chemical Sciences and Materials Technologies of CNR. She participated with several contributions in national and international conferences, where she also played the role of chairwoman. She is author of more than 25 scientific articles in prestigious international journals, such as, Journal of membrane Science, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, ACS applied materials & interfaces, Energy & Environmental Science.
Main fields of research:
- Preparation of dense and mixed matrix polymer membranes for gas treatment;
- Preparation of polymer membranes in flat and composite hollow fiber configuration for gas separation;
- Morphological-structural and chemical-physical characterization of polymeric membranes;
- Study of gas transport properties of polymer membranes;
- Gas separation processes for the production of renewable energy, CO2-separation and CO2-reuse.
