NTNU Department of Chemical Engineering

Luca Ansaloni got his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bologna in 2014 and now he is a postdoctoral fellow in the Chemical Engineering Department at NTNU. His main research interests are related to gas separation membranes and membrane contactor for CO2 capture, and membrane technology for glycols dehydration. Currently, he is involved in two CO2 capture projects: the EU-funded NANOMEMC2, about the development of advanced nanocomposite membranes for gas separation, and in the Norwegian national project 3GMC, about the development of membrane contactor technology using new generation solvents for post combustion capture.
