In an ultra-high-vacuum chamber (pressure ~10^-11 mbar, essentially no oxygen), a Nativity sits behind the viewport. In a place engineered for emptiness, the story of birth still shines. #Christmas2026 #MerryChristmas2026 #Nativity #Hope #Resilience #LabLife #Science

In Memory of Professor Enrico Drioli (1941-2024)

On 31st October 2024, the global membrane community mourned the passing of Professor Enrico Drioli, a visionary leader whose pioneering contributions profoundly influenced the field of membrane science and engineering. At the age of 83, Professor Drioli left a legacy that advanced the field significantly, with notable work in membrane desalination, membrane reactors, and biomedical applications of membrane systems.

Professor Drioli was an Emeritus Professor at the University of Calabria in Italy, where he inspired and mentored generations of scientists and engineers. Among his many accomplishments, he co-founded the European Membrane Society and served as its Honorary President since 1999. He was also the Founding Director of the Institute on Membrane Technology, CNR, Italy, where his leadership fostered the growth of membrane research and innovation.

His legacy also lives on in the Journal of Membrane Science (JMS), where he served as an Emeritus Advisory Board Member and previously as an Advisory Board Member. With over 800 scientific publications, including more than 180 articles in JMS, Professor Drioli’s extensive contributions highlight his unwavering dedication to advancing the field.

As we continue to address the global challenges to which Professor Drioli dedicated his life, his legacy endures in the innovations he championed and the vibrant network of researchers he inspired. He is survived by his family, friends, and a worldwide community of membranologists who will honor his memory by advancing his vision for a more sustainable future. Professor Enrico Drioli’s remarkable contributions and lasting influence stand as a testament to the profound impact of his dedication and leadership.
