Professor Maria Grazia De Angelis

Maria Grazia De Angelis is a Full Professor of Chemical Engineering Principles at the University of Bologna and an Honorary Professorial Fellow at the University of Edinburgh (UK), where she leads the SusProm Group. Her research is dedicated to the design of products (biodegradable packaging, selective membranes) and sustainable processes (CO₂ capture, water purification, wearable hemodialysis). She is currently engaged in integrating various theories, including AI, to enhance the capability of designing materials for separation.

She is the Chair of the Working Party on Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers (2022-2028). She was the Vice President of the European Membrane Society (2019-23). She is a co-author of more than 100 publications in international journals in the field of membrane science, thermodynamics, and computational material science (Google Scholar).

She has been a Researcher or Visiting Professor at

• University of Melbourne, Australia
• Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahia Blanca, Argentina
• National Technical University of Athens, Greece
• North Carolina State University, USA.
