Biosensors and Smart Packaging for Food Products

Dr. Gargi Ghoshal has been teaching Food Technology since 2004 with specialization in Nutraceutical and Functional Food. Her field of specializations are Utilization of Agro-industrial Waste and its Value Addition and Active, smart food packaging. She has successfully completed different collaborative research projects from funding agencies like AICTE, New Delhi, ICAR, New Delhi, and DST, Chandigarh, etc. Yuthana Phimolsiripol currently serves as an Associate Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Agro-Industry at Chiang Mai University (CMU), Thailand. He is a leading academic in food technology and product development. His research interests include cereal and starch technologies, shelflife simulation, functional foods, innovative processing methods, glycemic index, and product development. Under his leadership, FIN CMU has developed strong capacity in extraction technologies, drying systems, packaging innovations, and pilot-scale facilities. As an academic scholar, Dr. Yuthana actively contributes to the scientific community by serving as editor or editorial board member for prestigious journals such as International Journal of Food Science and Technology, Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Nutrition, and Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods. He also acts as a peer reviewer for over 500 manuscripts across numerous international journals. He holds several honors and awards for research excellence, including the title of “Outstanding Researcher” at his faculty in 2024, as well as recognition for contributions to innovation and science. His extensive publication record includes articles on ultrasound-assisted extraction, food bioprocessing, value-added products from agricultural by-products, and emerging food technologies. Given his strong academic credentials, leadership experience, research productivity, and technical capacity, Dr. Yuthana is exceptionally well placed to lead CMU’s participation in international cooperation projects. In addition, he has been listed (2024) in the “World Ranking of Top 2% Scientists,” published by Stanford University, USA. He has an H-index of 33 with ~3600 citations, as per SCOPUS.
