Olga SaccoOlga Sacco obtained her Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Salerno on 29 December 2008. She obtained her Master Degree in Chemical Engineering Processes, Safety and Environment at University of Rome "la Sapienza" on 28 Octobr 2011. During Master's thesis, she studied and developed a membrane system for the purification of tannery wastewater. From January 2012 till 2015, she attended the PhD course in Chemical Engineering (research theme: "Photocatalytic treatment of wastewater"). From 5th of April up to the 8th of October 2013, she conducted research at the University of Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) under the supervision of Prof. Dionysios D. Dionysiou. The dissertation performed in University of Cincinnati dealt with "Improving the Photoactivity and Morphology of Metal and Non-metal-doped TiO2 Catalyst Supported on Phosphors Materials for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Emerging Contaminants". During her PhD studies, she developed novel nanomaterials with interesting properties for water purification processes. She learned about removal of organic dyes, pesticides and pharmaceuticals in the aqueous environment by photocatalytic technologies. She has published her research results in several peer-reviewed journals including, International Journal of Photoenergy, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering Journal.
