Rizvi, Syed S H
International Professor
Sy Rizvi is professor of food process engineering in the Department of Food Science and also holds the title of International Professor in the college. He is intereted in engineering and processing aspects of food science and value addition for global markets. He has published over 150 technical papers, co-authored/edited six books and holds six patents. Currently he is with the Department of State advising the Bureau of Economics, Energy and Agricultural Affairs on use of science in diplomacy.
research
research and scholarship focus
Dr. Rizvi`s group is engaged in research on experimental and theoretical aspects of bioseparation processes, high pressure extrusion with supercritical fluids, physical |and engineering properties of biomaterials and novel food processing technologies. A major long-term goal is to develop new and improved unit operations for value-added processing of food and biomaterials. Derivative goals include new techniques for measurement and control of processes and properties for industrial applications.
