Ireneo KikicIreneo Kikic (1942) is a Full Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Trieste since 1980, and of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics since 1993. He retired in 2010, but continues to teach and research, either supervising undergraduate nd graduate students, or collaborating with several international institutions, such as the European Universities of Graz, Marseille, Delft, and Athens. He was the Director of the Institute of Industrial and Applied Chemistry (1982-1988) and Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering (DICAMP), still in Trieste (1997-2003). He worked also at the Ecole des Mines of Paris (1974, 1980), at the Technical University of Denmark (1978, 1986) and, as a Visiting Professor, at the University of Paris XIII (2003). He gave seminars at different Universities in Italy and Europe (Lyngby, Dortmund, Hamburg, Marseille, Zurich, Porto) and attended a number of international and national Conferences on Applied Thermodynamics and Supercritical Fluid Technology, part of which attended as an invited speaker. He was member of the Scientific Committee for the 1st, 3rd and 4th International Conferences on Supercritical Fluids and, in 1992, the Chairman of the 6th International Conference on Fluid Properties and Phase Equilibria for Chemical Process Design. Jointly to Proff. Perrut and Brunner, he was also the Chairman of the 6th International Symposium on Supercritical Fluids in Versailles (2003). In Trieste (2004), he was one of the organizers of the 9th Meeting on Supercritical Fluids, within the 7th Italian Conference on Supercritical Fluids. Among the editorial achievements, there emerges his participation in the Editorial Boards of Fluid Phase Equilibria and, currently, the Journal of Supercritical Fluids. He is a member of the Working Party "High Pressure Technology" of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, and has been a former President of the International Society for the Advancement of Supercritical Fluids (ISASF, 1999-2007), in which he remained as a Vice President. His research activity can be easily documented by more than three hundreds papers published in international journals, book chapters, and proceedings of national and international conferences.
