Security Enhancement for Climate Change Impacting Urban Resources - Seccure - Hardcover

Antonella Angelini, graduated in Chemistry cum laude at the University of Bari in 2007, got her Ph.D. in Chemical Science in 2010 from University of Bari during which she trained in the development of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion and activation of CO2. In 2011, she started her postdoctoral activity working on several innovative methodologies for the conversion of waste carbon into valuable products within projects financed by public and private entities (University of Bari, TOTAL SpA, Novamont). After an experience in a private company on the management of a liquid waste plant, in 2024 she joined the Water Research Institute of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-IRSA) as Research Scientist to work on the topic of the Green Chemistry.

Dr. Luigi di Bitonto is Researcher at the National Council of Italian Research, CNR, Water Research Institute since 2021. He graduated in Chemical Sciences and Technologies cum laude from the University of Bari "Aldo Moro" in 2010 and obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences in 2014. During his Ph.D. studies, he carried out research activities on the valorization of animal and plant biomass resources for the production of third-generation biofuels. He worked at the University Consortium for Chemical Reactivity and Catalysis on the development of processes for the synthesis of "platform molecules" from residual biomass. As a scholarship holder (2015-2017) and postgraduate (2017-2020) at IRSA-CNR in Bari, he participated in numerous national and international projects, also with private companies, working on the valorization of wastewater sludge through thermo-chemical conversion into fine chemicals and/or liquid biofuel.

Dr. Carlo Pastore, graduated cum laude in Chemistry at the University of Bari in 2001, got his Ph.D. in "Applied Enzymatic and Chemical Synthesis" by discussing the thesis entitled "Utilization of Carbon Dioxide for the Functionalization of Organic Substrates with the Assistance of Metal Complexes or Enzymatic Systems" in March 2005. Since 2011, he works as Researcher at the "National Council of Research" at the "Water Research Institute" (CNR-IRSA) and Member of the Italian Chemical Society, Environmental Division and Chemistry for Technologies Division, Green Chemistry Group. He has been involved as Principal Investigator for IRSA in over ten international and national research projects.
