Ece Söğüt (ES, Assoc. Prof.) expertise is in line with green sustainable packaging strategies using nanotechnological routes and active packaging for shelf-life extension, agro-waste derived polymers. ES is an enthusiastic researcher with 10+ years of experience, skilled in research and bio-based materials development for food packaging applications and experienced in assisting research projects involving the utilization of agro-waste products as food packaging materials, and analytical method development for sustainable food and material systems. She obtained her postdoc and later her senior scientist positions through securing competitive research funding in her university (Suleyman Demirel U.) as the principal investigator and project coordinator. ES developed novel research hypotheses in her home university and other international institutes and delivered high-quality research findings at peer-reviewed journals and international conferences. ES also studied as a postdoctoral researcher in Aarhus University between 2022-2024 for the development of bioactive carrier packaging systems and to understand the relationship between sustainable food packaging alternatives and food products through their shelf-life. With over a decade of research experience and international collaborations, she integrates spectroscopic, chromatographic, and thermo-analytical techniques to study bio-based materials, polymer degradation, food–material interactions, and microplastic quantification.
