Daria Camilla Boffito,
Canada Research Chair in Engineering Process Intensification and Catalysis (EPIC) and Associate Professor
Daria C. Boffito is Associate professor in Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. She is Canada Research Chair (2021-2026) in Engineering Process Intensification and Catalysis (EPIC) and head of the EPIC research team. She was previously Canada Research Chair in Intensified Mechano-Chemical Processes for Sustainable Biomass Conversion (2016-2021). In 2019 she was featured as an Emerging Leader in Chemical Engineering (Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering).
She received prestigious Canadian and International prizes. As a post-doc at Polytechnique Montréal she was awarded an FRQNT Fellowship - Excellence Program for Foreign Students (2013). In 2014 she received the NSERC Banting post-doctoral fellowship. During her PhD at the University of Milan (2010-2013), she was selected as part of the "GreenTalents 2012", a German Government competition that identifies every year the most promising young scientists worldwide in the field of sustainability. She spent part of her PhD at The University of Melbourne, with a fellowship from the Australian Government. Prof. Boffito's research interests include process intensification, biomass conversion, heterogeneous catalysis (and photocatalysis), CO2 conversion, synthesis and mechanism of drug delivery systems, metal recovery, and scientific communication. She co-authored the book "Communicate Science Papers, Presentations, and Posters Effectively", as well as a series of 20 articles in the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, which included bibliometrics. Prof. Boffito works with several Canadian and international companies in the fields of gas-to-liquids, process intensification technologies, biomass conversion, and metal extraction. She has trained over 80 students/post-docs since becoming a professor in 2016. Her EPIC team now includes people in Chemical, Biomedical and Material Engineering programs. She has published over 100 papers, 9 book chapters, 4 patents, and 1 book.
