Biography

Fernanda Neira D’Angelo aims to develop novel technologies to intensify sustainable processes, particularly through the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals and fuels. Her research on multiphase reactors is closely linked to the development and application of effective catalytic systems, seeking efficient combinations and synergism between reactor engineering and catalysis. With a first-hand understanding of the limitations of conventional technologies for biomass processing, she is dedicated to the integrated development of innovative reactor concepts (such as foam-based and spinning disc microreactors) and multifunctional catalysts (such as coatings) to realize a future bio-based economy that utilizes entire lignocellulose fractions, including sugars and lignin. She contributes to the circular economy with the ambition and responsibility to improve the quality of life on an increasingly populated planet.
