Prof. Dr. Dolores Peréz-Marín, PhD in Agriculture Engineering (University of Córdoba-UCO, Spain). President-elect of the International Council of NIRS (ICNIRS). Chair of the Cost Action “European Network for assuring food integrity using non-destructive spectral sensors” SENSORFINT (2020-2024) that joins more than 30 countries and 200 researchers from Europe and beyondShe is a worldwide recognized expert in the used of NIRS sensors and new technologies applied to food integrity. Her expertise in non-destructive spectral sensors (mainly, NIR and hyperspectral sensors) covers both fundamental and applied research on an ever widening range of applications in food and agriculture − feed, fats and oils, meats, protein animal by-products, milk and dairy, and various fruits and vegetables − using NIRS, alone or combined with other sensors. One of her main expertise in linked to the processing of spectral big data with multivariate analysis tools and nonlinear methods. This research has resulted in well over 300 publications, with 133 of these being peer-reviewed papers in top quality journals and several contributions as invited speakers in national and international conferences and workshops. She is the President of the ICNIRS Educational Group. She is currently editor of the Journal of NIRS and member of the International Scientific Advisory Board of the Institute for Global Food Security- Queens University (UK). She was awarded in 2014 with the International Tomas Hirschfeld Award and in 2020 with the International G. Birth Award for her outstanding contribution in the field of NIR spectroscopy.
