Jonghyun Choi is a senior scientist and the science team leader at Active & Intelligent Packaging within the Bioengineering Technologies group at the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research (PFR). He obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Case Western Research University in 2010, where he specialised in electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems. Then, he took an OCE (Office of Chief Executive) postdoctoral fellowship at CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation), propelling him towards a research scientist position. During this tenure, he significantly broadened his research scope, actively engaging in the fabrication and evaluation of both organic and inorganic nanomaterials for diverse applications. Since he joined PFR in 2014, his research area has been focused on new and emerging technologies for horticultural applications that include but are not limited to sensing and processing technologies and systems.
