importance to process engineering in general, the ability of these techniques to
quickly and accurately predict the performance characteristics of novel water
filtration membranes can truly be regarded as a breakthrough in water purification
technology.
Professor Hilal pioneered the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to
process engineering problems. These studies have led, for example, to the use
of AFM in the development of new membranes with optimised properties for
difficult separations. He has recently published a pioneering book on Atomic Force
Microscopy and Nano-Process Engineering by Elsevier. He has also published 4
textbooks, 14 book chapters and around 300 articles in the refereed scientific
literature. He is a registered European Engineer - Brussels, a Chartered Engineer in the
United Kingdom and Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers - London.
