Rate My Professor Luca Alibardi

Dr Alibardi's research specializations include the development of separation technologies and systems integration for circular and hydrogen economies, the role of hydrogen in decarbonising the wastewater sector, biorefinery concepts for waste management, energy recovery from wastewater networks, and coarse separation systems as alternatives to conventional membranes for recovering value-added products from waste. His areas of expertise cover biomass and waste, waste management and resource efficiency, and water science and engineering. He has collaborated with clients including Anglian Water, Scottish Water, Severn Trent Water, Yorkshire Water, and EPSRC. Key publications feature 'Food waste generation and industrial uses: A review' (Waste Management, 2015), 'Effects of carbohydrate, protein and lipid content of organic waste on hydrogen production and fermentation products' (Waste Management, 2016), 'Organic waste biorefineries: Looking towards implementation' (Waste Management, 2020), and 'Full-scale trials to achieve low total phosphorus in effluents from sewage treatment works' (Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2021). His work has garnered over 3,300 citations, influencing advancements in waste management, wastewater treatment, bioenergy, anaerobic digestion, and biological hydrogen production.
