Davide Crippa

Davide Crippa is a PhD student at Dipartimento di Chimica, Materiali e Ingegneria Chimica “Giulio Natta” of Politecnico di Milano. He is a member of the Group on Advanced Separation Processes & Gas Processing – “GASP”. His research interests range from thermodynamics to process simulation, with a focus on the development of green solvents for CO₂ capture from flue gas streams to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

He earned his Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano in 2026 with a thesis titled “Potassium Sarcosinate-based CO₂ Capture: Experimental Testing, Thermodynamic Modeling and Process Simulation”, where, upon a comparative literature review, he proposed a novel solvent formulation, screened the compatibility window of different amino acids with a green physical solvent and developed an electrolyte Non-Random Two-Liquid (eNRTL) model before the simulation of its absorption performance in Aspen Plus® V11.

In 2026 he won a PhD scholarship sponsored by Eni SpA at Politecnico di Milano, where he is currently attending the “Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering” PhD programme.
