Welcome to Sustainable Food Technology!

We are delighted to welcome Prof Benu Adhikari, RMIT University, Australia, as a new member of our Editorial Board of Sustainable Food Technology.

 

Professor Adhikari’s education and professional career have always centered around various aspects of food. He obtained his Bachelor’s (Jiangnan University, China) and Master’s (AIT, Thailand) degrees in Food Engineering and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a Food Engineering focus (UQ, Australia). He worked briefly as a Research Engineer at Ecoles Des Mines (Albi, France) and as a Visiting Lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic (Singapore). He was the recipient of the Australian Research Council’s prestigious fellowships. He has taught and researched at multiple universities in Australia. Currently, he is working as a research-teaching professor at RMIT University. His research has a strong focus on material science, engineering, and processing aspects of food including food proteins, food packaging, food powders, and new food ingredients. His publications cover the process-composition-structure-function aspect of food. (To date) he has published 373 refereed journal papers and 15 book chapters. His publications have attracted >19,000 citations (Google Scholar), and his current H-index is 78. Professor Adhikari also serves on the Editorial Boards of multiple journals of Food Science/Eng discipline. Prof Adhikari has a strong track record in supervising and mentoring Ph.D. scholars and postdoctoral fellows.

Picture of Professor Bhesh Bhandari

Prof. Bhandari is a Professor at the University of Queensland, Australia. His research focuses on food materials science/engineering, including microencapsulation of food ingredients, glass transition-related issues in food processing, and 3D printing of food materials. Professor Bhandari is a Fellow of the International Academy of Food Science and Technology (IAFoST), the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST), and the Nepal Food Scientists and Technologists Association (NEFOSTA). Prof Bhandari has authored over 500 papers, including nine co-edited books and forty book chapters (H-index of 97-Google Scholar).
Prof Bhandari is on the top 1% of highly cited researchers listed by Web of Science for the last four years and has been listed as a lead food scientist in Australia.
Prof. Bhandari is the Editor-in-Chief of Future Foods and Editor of the Journal of Food Engineering.

 

 

 

Dr. Pallotino has been a permanent researcher since 2017 and a Senior researcher at the same institution since 2021.
He is the winner and co-author of the Award for Best Research Published by CREA Staff in 2011. In 2010 he was awarded with the Young Researchers Award at the III National Conference of the Italian Society of Sensory Sciences in Naples. He has collaborated with many other journals and governmental projects.
 
His research regards applications of digital engineering technologies and numerical methodologies in biosystems, agri-food, and agro-industrial (ICT, imaging, RFiD, spectrometry, proximal sensing, thermography, inferential or predictive multivariate modeling, electronics, and open-source software). It is also about digital and precision agriculture applications. In addition, he works on sensors for pre- and post-harvesting products characterization and rapid and non-destructive techniques for the analysis and certification of aspects of a product.
