Our Dr. Man-sau Wong and Dr. Ka-sing Leung have recently received the Certified Food Scientist (CFS) credential. The presentation ceremony was held at the 2013 Annual Meeting and Food Expo of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT13) in Chicago this July. Dr. Wong and Dr. Leung are part of the CFS credential's inaugural class.
The Certified Food Scientist SM (CFS) credential is a formal global certification programme administered by the International Food Science Certification Commission, which recognizes the practical, applied scientific knowledge and skills possessed by food science professionals. CFS credential holders must demonstrate their core professional competencies of being a food scientist and their ability to apply knowledge and skills in reality.
On the other hand, Miss. Cheung Yi-ching, Anna, a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Jian-yong Wu, received the Graduate Student Poster Award, and won the 3rd place of the International Individual Division Competition with her presentation entitled "Optimization and kinetic modeling of polysaccharide extraction by ultrasonic disruption of a medicinal fungal mycelia in fermentation broth". The International Division Research Paper Competition was inaugurated as part of IFT's 50th Anniversary Celebration in 1989. It aims to encourage graduate students entering the International Research Paper Competition to think on global food science and technology issues and the needs of all people in the world. It also aims at promoting the diversity of opportunities and needs in a shrinking world, and recognizing the diverse and rich research skills of IFT's international members.
Congratulations to Dr. MS Wong, Dr. KS Leung and Miss. Anna Cheung on receiving the honours!
