报告人简介：

Dr. Jitendra Paliwal received a Ph.D. in Biosystems Engineering from the University of Manitoba in 2002. He is now a Professor of Biosystems Engineering and Associate Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba, where he leads the imaging and spectroscopy research in the grain storage area. His work in mitigating grain spoilage through innovative storage techniques is internationally recognized. Grain quality monitoring and assessment instrument designers widely refer to Dr. Paliwal’s research on developing hardware and software solutions. In 2018, he was part of a distinguished team of industry and academic researchers who won the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineering’s AE50 award for adapting a cancer detection imaging technique for remote monitoring grain bins. The technology led to a groundbreaking commercial product called GrainViz, now marketed by AGCO Corp.

Jitendra’s highly collaborative interdisciplinary research work, so far, has resulted in 140 scientific papers in international peer-reviewed journals. He has also authored or co-authored 120+ conference papers, five book chapters, and three patents.  

Jitendra serves on the editorial board of two Elsevier journals: Measurement: Food and Journal of Future Foods. He was elected the 100^th President of Engineers Geoscientists of Manitoba (EGM) in 2019. His contribution to the engineering profession was recognized when he was appointed a Fellow of Engineers Canada in 2017 and a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Bioengineering in 2022.
