Michele Tedesco
Senior advisor
Biography
My research focuses on ion exchange membranes and related processes (electrodialysis, reverse/bipolar electrodialysis), from fundamental modeling to experimental investigation.
Besides my research activities, I am also heavily involved in coordination, writing, and project management of EU-funded projects.
