Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Vitaly Gitis is Professor of Energy Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, where he teaches courses on chemistry, separation processes, and alternative energy sources. His research interests embrace granular and membrane filtration separation processes, multi-layered ceramic membranes, wastewater treatment processes, and colloidal chemistry. Gitis has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers in international journals, co-authored the textbook Ceramic Membranes New Opportunities and Practical Applications, and invented two patents. Since joining BGU he has mentored over 40 graduate students. He serves on several scientific and management committees, including the IWA Specialist Group on Particle Separation. In 2010 he was appointed as Marie Curie Visiting Professor at the University of Amsterdam, and in 2018 he was appointed as Visiting Professor at University of Adelaide.

Gadi Rothenberg is Professor and Chair of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where he teaches courses on catalysis and workshops on scientific writing and innovation. His research interests include clean energy, biomass conversion, and creating value from waste. Rothenberg has published two books and over 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals, invented 16 patents, and co-founded the companies Sorbisense, Yellow Diesel and Plantics. His textbook Catalysis: Concepts & Green Applications is used by teachers and students worldwide. The impact of his work is reflected in several distinctions, including the European Commission Marie Curie Excellence Award, the Paul Rylander Award from the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society, and the ""lecturer of the year"" award by the UvA chemistry students. In 2017 he was appointed as Senior Visiting Scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai, and in 2018 he was appointed as Lady Davis Visiting Professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Since January 2020 he is also the Technical Director CO and Circular Economy of the Shanghai Institute for CleanTech Innovation.
