Intensification of Biobased Processes

Prof. Andrzej Gorak is a Professor at Lodz University of Technology, Poland and an Emeritus Professor of TU Dortmund University. He is an Editor of Chemical Engineering and Processing: Process Intensification and a Board Member of the European Process Intensification Centre (EUROPIC). His scientific interests are reactive and bioreactive separation processes, process intensification, computer aided process engineering. His research is also focused on experimental investigations of reactive and hybrid separation processes such as reactive distillation and membrane separations.

Andrzej Stankiewicz is Full Professor at Delft University of Technology (Chair of Intensified Reaction and Separation Systems) and Director of TU Delft Process Technology Institute. He is author of numerous publications on chemical reaction engineering, industrial catalysis and process intensification, including the world's first book on Process Intensification: Re-Engineering the Chemical Processing Plant. Prof. Stankiewicz is an Editor of Chemical Engineering and Processing: Process Intensification and a Series Editor of the Green Chemistry Books Series. He was the founder and first Chairman of the Working Party on Process Intensification at the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, and currently chairs the Board of the European Process Intensification Centre (EUROPIC). His current research interests are control of molecular interactions and intensification of chemical processes using electric and electromagnetic fields. And he has been awarded the prestigious Advanced Investigator Grant by the European Research Council (with co-workers) and a grant by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
