We’re excited to welcome these two incredible minds who have joined Sustainable Food Technology Advisory Board!
Dr. Manjusri Misra and Prof. Dr. Elena Ibañez bring with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise in their respective fields, and we can’t wait for their insights to enrich our publications.
Dr. Manjusri Misra is a true trailblazer in the field of Sustainable Biocomposites. As a professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at the University of Guelph, she has dedicated her career to the development of advanced polymeric materials from sustainable resources. Dr. Misra’s passion lies in creating solutions that reduce landfilling, ocean pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions – all in support of the Circular Economy.
With an impressive list of achievements, Dr. Misra has authored over 800 publications, including an astounding 450 peer-reviewed journal papers, 30 book chapters, and 55 patents. Her contributions as an editor to several books on biocomposites and nano materials have had a significant impact on the field.
Not only is she an esteemed academic, but she’s also been recognized by prestigious societies such as the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and the Society of Plastic Engineers (SPE). Awards such as the Andrew Chase Forest Products Division Award from AIChE and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the BioEnvironmental Polymer Society (BEPS) underscore her exceptional achievements.
In 2020, Dr. Misra was named one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women, winning the Top 100 Award in the Manulife Science and Technology category from the Women Executive Network. It’s clear that her dedication to sustainable materials and environmental stewardship is making a real impact in the world.
Prof. Dr. Elena Ibañez, hailing from the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL) in Madrid, Spain, brings her expertise in Analytical Chemistry and green extraction processes to our advisory board. Her research revolves around isolating and analyzing bioactive compounds from natural sources, including food and agricultural by-products, plants, and algae.
With an impressive academic background that includes a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from UAM, Spain, and postdoctoral training at Brigham Young University and the University of California at Davis, Prof. Dr. Ibañez is a true global scholar.
She’s been involved in an impressive 52 research projects, leading 15 of them, including two EU projects. Her work has received accolades, and she has been named one of the “50 Top Women in Analytical Chemistry” and one of the “10 Top 10s in Analytical Chemistry” by the Analytical Scientist.
Not content with merely conducting groundbreaking research, Prof. Dr. Ibañez is also an accomplished editor for prestigious journals like the Journal of Supercritical Fluids, TrAC-Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Frontiers in Nutrition (Nutrition and Food Science Technology), and Exploration of Foods and Foodomics.
Her contributions to education and mentorship are equally commendable, having supervised numerous PhD theses and guided many students and postdocs throughout their careers.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome these two remarkable individuals to our magazine’s advisory board. Their expertise and passion will undoubtedly shape the direction of our publication, empowering us to bring you even more cutting-edge insights and ideas.
Stay tuned for the valuable contributions of Dr. Manjusri Misra and Prof. Dr. Elena Ibañez as we continue to explore and celebrate the latest advancements in sustainable materials and analytical chemistry. Together, we’ll build a better future for our planet!
