Rui M. Rodrigues concluded his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2019/10/01 By University of Minho, Centre of Biological Engineering . During his academic path, he developed his masters dissertation in the Karlsruhe Institute for technology (Germany) and part of his PhD program in Aalborg University (Denmark). He has published over 45 research items including original papers, review papers and book chapters. He also counts with several participation in international conferences with posters oral presentations, and lectures. He counts with the participation in 6 research projects in the food technology area, developments and implementation of new technologies and products into the food industry. His expertise areas are food and biotechnology processing, ohmic heating, electric field processing, electric field effects in foodstuff, food ingredient and proteins, proteins´ structure-function relationship. The outcomes of his research contributed to establish fundamental knowledge on the action of electric fields on proteins structure and on their potential to control functionality. Along with his PhD and Post-doc research, he has been involved in the tutoring of students on their MSc and Doc programs, as well as supervising research fellows. He participated in several juries for academic degrees and performs regular work as reviewer for reference scientific journals. Rui Rodrigues cooperates with international institutions such as Universitys of Salerno and Udine (Italy), UNICAMP, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil), KU Leuven (Belgium) and the International Nanotechnology Laboratory INL (Portugal). He has also active within the community by participating and organizing symposiums, visits and demonstrations about food processing and technology, particularly focussing on young audiences and schools. Due to his technical knowledge and scientific expertise, he has been involved in several projects with the food industry, as well as on the conceptualization and writing of project proposals. Equally, he has participated as a consultant in products and processes development and implementation for several food companies.
