ABE Biocomplexity Engineering seminar

Details

Speaker: Dr. Jose Reyes-De-Corcuera

Title: ABE Biocomplexity Engineering:”Complexity of cacao fermentation”

Bio: Dr. Reyes is an Associate Professor at the University of Florida, Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in Engineering Science. His B.S. is from UNAM in Mexico City and his graduate degrees are from Washington State University. His research focuses on electrochemical enzyme biosensors and enzyme stabilization and catalysis at high hydrostatic pressure (between 20,000 and 100,000 psi). Other research interests include biofilm dynamics, metabolomics of foodborne and plant pathogens, and fermentations. He has taught a wide range of courses in food science and engineering ranging from very technical like ‘Developments and Applications in Biosensors’ to culturally rich courses such as “The science and engineering of chocolate for a more just society”.
