應化工學院張鍇教授的邀請，英國倫敦大學學院（University College London）化工系Stefano Brandani教授于6月4日至7日來我校訪問并進行學術交流。隨同Brandani教授來訪的還有英國皇家學會國際政策部亞洲區主管Robert Morini博士和KBC Advanced Technology Pte Ltd技術顧問Antonio Pelle先生。
訪問期間，他們參觀了我校重質油國家重點實驗室、過程裝備實驗室和中試工程中心的部分實驗室。在與學院和實驗室領導及部分研究人員進行深入討論之后，雙方就科學研究和研究生培養方面的合作達成了共識。6月6日下午，Brandani教授在重質油會議室作了“Hydrogen from biomass using steam gasification”專題學術報告。精彩的講演開拓了學生們的視野，取得了積極的效果。與會者紛紛表示，希望今后學校能夠經常組織類似學術活動，增進國內外學術交流，提升自身科研水平。

附錄：倫敦大學學院化工系簡介
Situated in the heart of London on the main campus of UCL (University College London), consistently ranked in the top three multifaculty UK universities, the department is one of the top research and teaching Chemical Engineering departments in the UK, achieving world class standing. Research is a major departmental activity, as was recognised by the award of a 5*(A) rating in the recent Research Assessment Exercise carried out by HEFCE. Our academic staff are leaders in their fields. The research is grouped into three main areas: mutiphase systems, chemical and catalytic reaction engineering and computer aided process engineering. Within these areas, research topics include: particle technology, including crystallization and fluidization; agglomeration and growth in colloidal systems; instrumentation; rheology and mixing; process systems engineering, including process design, optimization and operations; safety and loss prevention; and process intensification. The Department has also recently created the Centre for CO2 Technology.
附錄：Brandani教授簡歷
Professor Stefano Brandani received a Laurea summa cum laude in Chemical Engineering from the University of L'Aquila in 1991 and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Naples in 1995. From September 1994 he was a Lecturer at the University of L’Aquila, Italy. Between 1994 and 1998 he has been a visiting scholar at the University of New Brunswick, Canada and the University of Maine, USA. He joined UCL in 1998 as a Senior Lecturer and he is now a Professor of Chemical Engineering.
Prof. Brandani is co-Director of the Centre for CO2 Technology and is the recipient of a Philip Leverhulme Prize and a Royal Society-Wolfson Research Merit Award. He is a member of the Board of the International Adsorption Society, a member of the AIChE and an associate member of the IChemE.
His research interests are in the areas of fundamentals of adsorption and adsorption processes, fluidization and biomass gasification, and CO2 storage in coal reservoirs.
