Basile also prepared 42 special issues on membrane science and technology for many international journals (IJHE, Chem Eng. J., Cat. Today, etc.). He participated to and was/is responsible of many national and international projects on membrane reactors and membrane science. Basile served as Director of the ITM-CNR during the period Dec. 2008 – May 2009. In the last years, he was tutor of 30 Thesis for master and Ph.D. students at the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Calabria (Italy). From 2014, Basile is Full Professor of Chemical Engineering Processes. Alfredo Cassano, a Biologist, is senior Researcher at ITM-CNR since 2000. He has a long experience in the field of membrane science and technology with research expertise including pressure-driven membrane processes, membrane contactors and integrated membrane operations mainly applied to wastewater treatments and agro-food productions. Cassano also prepared 4 special issues on membrane science and technology for 3 international journals (Membranes, Foods and Journal of Membrane Science and Research). He is involved as scientific responsible or main investigator in different national projects with both Italian Ministry of Education, University & Research and private companies and international projects funded by EU. He has been tutoring of 28 Thesis for master and Ph.D. students at ITM-CNR. Sirshendu De did his B. Tech (1990), M. Tech (1993) and PhD (1997) from Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Kanpur. His main research interest includes membrane separation, membrane casting and applications, process developments, modeling and design; flow modeling, heat and mass transfer in microchannel, mathematic modeling of different Chemical Engineering processes. He has authored 8 books, 16 patents, 333 publications in journals of repute and handled 45 research projects and transferred 4 technologies for commercialization to six companies. He has guided 25 PhD and 70+ M. Tech students. Prof. De has been awarded several awards, including Institute Chair Professorship, 2020, Abdul Kalam Fellowship for Innovative Research 2017, Innovation Award from Indian Desalination Association 2016, INAE Chair Professorship 2015, Innovation Award by Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers 2015, Lockheed-Martin top 10 innovation 2015, NASI-Reliance Industries Platinum Jubilee Award (2013), INAE Silver Jubilee Award (2012), DAE-SRC Young Investigator Award (2012), Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize in “Engineering Science” by CSIR, Govt of India (2011), Herdillia Award (2010). He is a Fellow of Indian National Academy of Engineers, New Delhi and The National Academy of Sciences, India, Allahabad. He is the founder of the spin-off company M/s, Technoquips Separation Pvt. Ltd. Sourav Mondal did his PhD from IIT Kharagpur (2015) on mass transport phenomena related to filtration systems. Thereafter he had a post-doctoral stint at the mathematical institute of Oxford University (UK) working on advanced fluid flow problems in engineering. Currently he is the assistant professor at the chemical engineering in IIT Kharagpur. His current research interests are broadly in the domain of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, related to flow in porous medium, membrane filtration, computational fluid dynamics and mass transport in separation systems. He has authored 50 international peer reviewed journal publications and 3 monographs. He is the recipient of INAE Young Engineers Award in 2021. He was awarded the Oxford University (UK) vice-chancellor innovation award in 2018.
