Pedro E. D. Augusto is Associate Professor at the University of São Paulo (USP, Brazil), in the field of Food Process Engineering, where he leads a research group (Ge²P) focused on using conventional and non-conventional technologies to obtain safer food products, with better nutritional and sensorial properties, and with a minor environmental impact. Prof. Augusto’s group study different aspects of food processing and their impact on food structure, properties, stability and consumption, such as food structure and functionality, physical and Engineering properties of foods, kinetics of...Read more
Rachel Fraser received her B.Sc. from Tufts University and her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. At Berkeley, she worked on chromatin biology using yeast genetics and biochemistry. After her graduate work, she joined Impossible Foods (then Sand Hill Foods) as a Scientist in 2012. Initially, she was responsible for identifying the heme containing protein that is used today in the Impossible Burger. Subsequently, she was integral in the development of the scalable biomanufacturing process that produces heme for Impossible products. Since 2018, she has served as a Director of Research leading a team of...Read more
