Processes: Process System Engineering, Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Transfer Phenomena

Process engineering is the understanding and application of the laws of nature and fundamental principles that allow us to transform raw material and energy into useful products. By taking advantage of the driving forces of nature such as pressure, temperature, and concentration gradients, as well as the law of conservation of mass and energy, in process engineering we develop methods to synthesize and purify useful desired products.

Transforming Ideas into Reality

Prof. Dario Dekel and his research group study and develop disruptive electrochemical devices based on anion-exchange membranes for a greener and better future

Prof. Dario Dekel discovered his passion for research during his graduate degree studies. During Dario’s MSc, his supervisor (Prof. Gidi Grader) gave him a research topic (and a thesis title) during the first week of the studies: Preparation of Superconducting Materials by Spray Pyrolysis Technique. He graduated with an outstanding thesis (and paper): “I remember […]
