#73 - Dr. Lidietta Giorno

Smart Water Solutions

Join us on our latest podcast episode to explore membrane technology with eminent scientist and researcher Dr. Lidietta Giorno of ITM-CNR, hosted by Rhea and me. Dr. Giorno guides us through her innovative research, a fusion of biology, chemistry, and engineering. She shares her insights, reflecting on the interconnectedness of knowledge: 'the sectorial subdivision of disciplines is something artificial that we have invented in order to educate people. But in the end, the knowledge is very unified’ echoing Aristotle's belief that 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.'

Ever wondered how the sophisticated designs of nature can shape future membranes for a greener planet? Discover the mystic of bioremediation and biosensors – how do these innovative membranes promise a cleaner environment? We also explore the world of enzyme-immobilized membranes. Imagine the possibilities they could unlock in water treatment and more. And there's more: get the scoop on self-cleaning membrane technologies that Lidietta is researching. Could this be the birth of a new era in membrane maintenance?
