Petros Taoukis is currently a full Professor at the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Technology, School of Chemical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens. From 1992 to 1995, they served as a Director of the Research and Development Department at the Knorr Bestfoods Hellas (currently Unilever), Athens, Greece. They have been employed at the National Technical University of Athens since 1995, where they obtained the full Professor position in 2010. They completed their Ph.D. studies in Food Science at the University of Minnesota, USA in 1988. Their research and publications are in the areas of kinetic modeling of food deterioration during and post-processing, quality and shelf-life predictive modeling, food packaging, predictive microbiology, enzyme technology, and the development and application of Time Temperature Integrator systems as quality monitors of food products. Their research in the modeling of food deterioration and the contributing parameters during and post-processing focuses on novel processes such as HP and PEF processing, osmotic dehydration, and intelligent packaging. Their work in the area of this aims to develop and apply optimal systems of food quality monitoring and chill chain management.
