Aimaro Sanna is an Associate Professor in Chemical and Process Engineering at the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS). He completed his Ph.D. in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nottingham, working on catalytic processes towards the conversion of biomass in bio-fuels and bio-chemicals. He was then employed as a Research Fellow at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Nottingham (2010–2012), working on clean fossil fuels technologies. From 2012 to 2014, he served at the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, on clean fossil fuel technologies and on the development of new generation of catalytic systems for understanding and controlling the chemical transformation of biomass-derived oxygenates to fuels. His research group expertise and interests are in bioenergy and waste valorisation combining catalysis, materials science, and chemical engineering aspects, including catalytic membrane reactors, auger reactors, techno economic assessment, pre and post combustion CO2 capture using high-temperature solid sorbents, catalytic pyrolysis, gasification, hydrotreating, and aqueous phase processing for bio-oil upgrading and mineral carbonation technologies.
