应化工学院张锴教授的邀请，英国伦敦大学学院（University College London）化工系Stefano Brandani教授于6月4日至7日来我校访问并进行学术交流。随同Brandani教授来访的还有英国皇家学会国际政策部亚洲区主管Robert Morini博士和KBC Advanced Technology Pte Ltd技术顾问Antonio Pelle先生。
访问期间，他们参观了我校重质油国家重点实验室、过程装备实验室和中试工程中心的部分实验室。在与学院和实验室领导及部分研究人员进行深入讨论之后，双方就科学研究和研究生培养方面的合作达成了共识。6月6日下午，Brandani教授在重质油会议室作了“Hydrogen from biomass using steam gasification”专题学术报告。精彩的讲演开拓了学生们的视野，取得了积极的效果。与会者纷纷表示，希望今后学校能够经常组织类似学术活动，增进国内外学术交流，提升自身科研水平。

附录：伦敦大学学院化工系简介
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.
附录：Brandani教授简历
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.
