Career Summary:
Marco Lubrano Lavadera obtained his Ph.D. in Industrial Product and Process Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II in 2017. His doctoral research, focused on the combustion chemistry of smart energy carriers, was conducted in collaboration with the Institute for Research on Combustion (IRC) of the National Research Council (CNR), where he continued working until 2018.
From 2018 to 2022, Marco was a postdoctoral researcher at the Division of Combustion Physics at Lund University. In 2022, he joined the ATM department at ULB. In 2024, he was appointed as a Research Associate by the F.R.S.–FNRS.
Marco’s research centres on understanding chemical kinetics related to the thermochemical conversion of liquid and gaseous molecules, using a combination of experiments and modeling. His broader research aims include the development of analytical methods for designing and upgrading integrated systems for energy and chemical production—particularly those capable of using low-quality feedstocks such as waste or industrial by-products.
Marco has been an associate member of the Combustion Institute for more than ten years. He is currently a member of the Belgian Section of the Combustion Institute and a former member of the Italian and Nordic-Scandinavian Sections. Marco has contributed to more than 30 publications in international journals. He has actively participated in many events, including conferences, workshops, and schools, as a chair, as a speaker, or as the organiыer. His research activity involves many national and European projects.
