Dr. Carmen Gomes is currently an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Iowa State University where she is leading a successful research program on the design of novel nanoscale materials using carbon-based nanomaterials and polymers for food safety and agricultural applications. Projects pursued in her laboratory range from fabrication of polymeric nanomaterials and nanostructured devices for biosensors to bioactive delivery systems. Dr. Gomes has over 14 years of experience working in the research area of nanotechnology applied to food processing, food safety and food quality to develop effective solutions in food and agriculture production.
Dr. Yu Wang is an Assistant Professor of Food Chemistry at the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department and Citrus Research and Education Center, University of Florida. Dr. Wang’s research mainly focuses on flavor chemistry and natural product chemistry, emphasizing the flavor (aroma and taste) of fruits, herbs and other agricultural commodities, and use of citrus by-product for health benefits. She got her PhD in Food Chemistry, at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Dr. Wang had her postdoc. training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology focusing on “Omics” techniques for early diagnosing inflammation bowel disease (IBD). Dr. Wang received the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship to work in the Chair of Food Chemistry and Molecular Sensory Science at the Technical University of Munich. Her research experience includes flavor chemistry, sensory science and food/plant metabolomics. Before joining University of Florida, Dr. Wang was a Flavor Chemist at Mars Chocolate Inc, working in global R&D directing flavor application, developing novel flavor profiles, analyzing cocoa and chocolate flavor, setting up flavor training program, and providing technical guidance.
