Presentation Topic
Workshop – Aquaphotomics Data Analysis (Abstract)
Bio
habilitated PhD, associate professor at Szent Istvan University, MSc in Food Engineering (2007), PhD in Food Science (2012) and dr. habil in Food Science (2018). His original scope of research is the application and improvement of machine sensing systems, with major focus on the electronic tongue, it’s related measurement protocol and data evaluation techniques. His early works and adepts in the agricultural, food sciences and pharmaceutical fields, was noticed by the manufacturer of electronic tongue instruments, and he was invited for collaborations. He spent three years as a post-doctorate research fellow in Professor Tsenkova’s group at Kobe University, Japan. Since his post-doc period, he has been working with the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) using the novel aquaphotomics data evaluation approach. He has also, been investigating the application of aquaphotomics for various systems including biological organisms, different types of water samples, and developing measurement and data evaluation techniques for rapid and non-invasive application of NIRS and aquaphotomics. He has won several research fellowships since he returned to his home institution in 2016. Currently Professor Kovacs collaborates and leads different national and international research projects mainly in the frame of near infrared spectroscopy, aquaphotomics and artificial senses along with their related chemometric methods.
