Vittorio Loddo

Vittorio Loddo (b.1963) received a MSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Palermo in 1993 and a PhD degree from the University Federico II of Naples in 1998. Since August 2000 he has been Assistant Professor at the University of Palerm. In the course of his scientific activity, he has contributed to the following fields: chemical kinetics of heterogeneous photocatalytic systems; modelling of heterogeneous photoreactors, radiation field modelling in absorbing-reacting media, advanced oxidation processes for environment remediation and green synthesis. He actually works mainly in modeling of photocatalytic reactors where TiO2 is supported as a thin film. He has spent some 6 months in Spain at Plataforma Solar de Almeria in order to test the developed photocatalytic devices under solar irradiation. He is author of many papers in international journals, communications at international conferences and book chapters.
