Affiliations

Education Profile

  • ​PhD, Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering University of Porto, Portugal 
  • Diploma of Chemical Engineering (5 years degree), South University, Argentina

Research Interests

​Prof. Grande's research interests cover all aspects of adsorption processes, from the characterization, scale-up and formulation of new adsorbent materials to the process design, simulation and testing. 
Prof. Grande's research also covers process intensification routes that digitalization can bring to industrial manufacturing. In particular, the effects and novel pathways that can be achieved by using novel architectures of equipment and internals.
