Dr. Puneet Mishra is employed as a scientist in non-destructive sensing and agro-food robotics at Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands. His research is focused on implementation of advanced spectroscopic sensing techniques and chemometric methodologies for rapid monitoring of food processes and product properties. In 2019, he obtained his PhD in process analytical technologies (PAT) from the Center for Process Analytics and Control Technology (CPACT), Glasgow, United Kingdom. He was a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow for 3 years working on the EU project ‘Advance modelling for process-product innovation, optimization, monitoring and control in life sciences industries (MODLIFE)’, with major industries such as Unilever, Alfa Laval, and Bayer, developing spectroscopic techniques for industrial processes. In 2018, he received the prestigious awards such as ‘Malcolm McIvor award’ and the ‘Young Scientist Award’ from European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy, for his work related to use of miniature spectral sensing. In 2019, he received the best paper award from IEEE whispers conferences for his work related to development of hyperspectral imaging as a continuous monitoring tool in collaboration with Bayer Crop Sciences, Frankfurt, Germany. In both 2020 and 2021, he received the prestigious ‘Young Chemometrician Award’ from the French Chemometric society. He has published ~62 scientific peer-reviewed articles.
