Profile

Professor Pedro Bouchon is an Industrial Civil Engineer with a major in Chemical Engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and a PhD from the School of Food Biosciences at the University of Reading, UK. During his academic career he has played a leading role in the training, research and transfer areas. His career in university management is noteworthy. He was named Vice Dean of the Faculty of Engineering in June 2016 and from March 2017 he is Vice Rector for Research at the University.

Professor Bouchon directs the Food Structure Design Laboratory, where he focuses his research on the design of food structures in a controlled manner based on specific formulations and/or processes, in order to obtain quality characteristics conceptualized a priori. The study includes the evaluation of the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of compounds of interest in vitro or in vivo, both in model systems as in food matrices. In addition, the study covers the integration of various microscopy techniques and includes, as a fundamental part, the use of advanced image analysis programs to obtain quantifiable information on the structures studied.

Professor Bouchon is a member of several editorial committees of scientific journals. These include the committees of the journals Food and Bioproducts Processing (Elsevier), CYTA-Journal of Food (Taylor and Francis) and Advances in Food Science and Engineering (Isaac Scientific Publishing).
