Giovanna Ruoppolo is senior researcher at the CNR_STEMS. She graduated in Chemical Engineering at the University "Federico II" of Naples, where also obtained her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 1999. Her research interests (heterogeneous catalysis and chemical reactor design) are related to two areas: i) materials and catalytic processes in fixed or fluidized bed reactors for energy and environment (catalytic oxidation of light hydrocarbons, post-combustion treatment of exhaust gases from power plants, preferential oxidation of CO in hydrogen rich stream, decomposition of CH4 to produce hydrogen H2); ii) torrefaction, pyrolysis and gasification of biomass and solid residue (comminution phenomena, set up and characterization of innovative catalyst systems, design of innovative fluidized bed gasifiers).

She is author of 79 papers on international journal and more than 60 papers with ISSN or ISBN and national and international conferences and of an Italian Patent (Procedimento di preparazione di punti quantici a base di carbonio funzionalizzati da biomasse No. 1020180000104262019).
