Seid Mahdi Jafari
Dr. Seid Mahdi Jafari received his PhD degree in 2006 in Food Process Engineering from the University of Queensland, Australia. He has extensive experience in the field of food process engineering, conducting research on nanotechnology and its processes and being reviewer of some important journals as Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies, Journal of Food Engineering, Journal of Food Process Engineering, Industrial Crops and Products and Food Technology and Biotechnology. He is Associate Professor in the Department of Food Materials and Process Design Engineering, Faculty of Food Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Pardis, Basidj Square, Gorgan, Iran, and he is an academic member of GAU (Iran). He has published more than 85 papers in top-ranked international food science journals and 18 book chapters, along with editing four books with LAP and Elsevier publishers. In November 2015, he was awarded as one of the top 1% scientists of the world with the highest citations by Thompson Reuters (Essential Scientific Indicators) in the field of Biological Sciences.
