European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering - 10

Sauro Pierucci is president and former vice president of AIDIC Servizi Srl, and a former professor in Chemical Engineering at CMIC Politecnico di Milano, where he also graduated in Chemical Engineering in 1969. He was member of EFCE (European Federation of Chemical Engineering) executive board until 2010. He has edited several international publications and is currently the editor-in-chief of the Chemical Engineering Transactions Journal, published by AIDIC, and the author of more than 200 scientific publications. In 2017, he was awarded by “the Dieter Behrens Medal” from EFCE.
