Prof. Loong-Tak Lim received his Doctoral degree in Food Science from the University of Guelph, Canada in 1999, and B.Sc. degree in Food Science from Acadia University, Canada in 1994. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Food Science and the team leader for the Packaging and Biomaterial Group, and the Director of Guelph Food Innovation Centre. His team focuses on exploiting ultrafine fibers and particles for encapsulation and advanced packaging applications, aiming to reduce food waste and improve food safety during distribution. His group also works on research and development of various coffee technologies, especially the single-serve and cold brew product categories. He and his collaborators have published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters, and presented in more than 50 conferences. He teaches Food Packaging and Food Engineering Principles, and co-teaches several other food and material science courses at graduate and undergraduate levels. Prior to joining the University of Guelph in 2005, he was with Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. (Bolton, Canada), where he was a project manager working with injection and single/two-stage injection stretch blow molding technologies, as well as package prototyping. Prof. Michael Rogers’ first appointment after the completion of his Ph.D. was at the University of Saskatchewan in Food Nanotechnology as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food and Bioproduct Sciences. From 2012-2015, he took a position at Rutgers University in Food Science and as the Director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Physiology at the New Jersey Institute of Food, Nutrition and Health where he was awarded both the Endel Karmas award for teaching excellence and the Directors Award for Scientific excellence. Dr. Rogers is currently an Associate Professor and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Food Nanotechnology at the University of Guelph. He has been awarded the Top Young Scientist awards through both IUFoST, in 2008 and the American Oil Chemists’ Society in 2015. Dr. Rogers has published over 75 peer reviewed publications which have accumulated an H-index of 26. His work has appeared on the cover of Chemical Society Reviews (2015, 44, 6035-6058: Impact factor 38.62) and Langmuir (2015, 30, 14128-14142: Impact factor 3.83). He has presented his work more than 55 times at international conferences and has overseen more than 1.5 million dollars in research funding.
