O autorze

Liliana Mammino is emeritus professor of the University of Venda, South Africa. She joined the university in 1997 and, alongside teaching a range of general and physical chemistry courses, has worked hard to establish and promote the development of computational chemistry research across the region. After graduating from the University of Pisa, Italy, she went on to receive her doctorate from Moscow State University, Russia, before going on to teach chemistry at the National University of Somalia, University of Zambia, and National University of Lesotho.

Professor Mammino's main research areas are computational theoretical chemistry and chemical education, with particular attention to green chemistry education, and she has published over 40 papers across these areas. She is a member of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Green Chemistry, national representative of South Africa in IUPAC Division III and, in 2013, she was one of the recipients of the IUPAC Award for Distinguished Women in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
