Template:Chinese name

Sun Dawen (simplified Chinese: 孙大文; traditional Chinese: 孫大文; pinyin: Sūn Dàwén; Jyutping: Syun1 Daai6 Man6; ), known as Da-Wen Sun, is an academic and researcher in food engineering, Member of Royal Irish Academy^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4], Member of Academia Europaea (The Academy of Europe)^[5] ^[6] ^[7] ^[8] and Fellow of International Academy of Food Science and Technology^[9] ^[10]. He is also President of International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (CIGR)^[11] ^[12].

Biography

Sun was born in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China. He received a first class BSc Honours and MSc in Mechanical Engineering, and a PhD in Chemical Engineering in China. He was appointed College Lecturer at National University of Ireland, Dublin (University College Dublin) in 1995, and was then Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and full Professor. Sun is now Professor and Director of the Food Refrigeration and Computerised Food Technology Research Group in University College Dublin. He is Fellow of the Institution of Agricultural Engineers and Fellow of the Institution of Engineers of Ireland (Engineers Ireland). He is also Editor-in-Chief of Food and Bioprocess Technology – an International Journal (Springer)^[13] ^[14], Series Editor of Contemporary Food Engineering book series (CRC Press / Taylor & Francis), former Editor of Journal of Food Engineering (Elsevier), and editorial board member for a number of international journals. He is also a Chartered Engineer.

Academic career

Sun is recognized in food engineering research and education ^[15] ^[16] ^[17] ^[18] ^[19] ^[20] ^[21]. His main research activities include cooling, drying and refrigeration processes and systems, quality and safety of food products, bioprocess simulation and optimisation, and computer vision technology. His studies on vacuum cooling of cooked meats, pizza quality inspection by computer vision, and edible films for shelf-life extension of fruit and vegetables have been reported in national and international media ^[22] ^[23] ^[24] ^[25] ^[26] ^[27] ^[28] ^[29] ^[30] ^[31] ^[32] ^[33] ^[34] ^[35] ^[36] ^[37]. Results of his work have been published in more than 600 papers including over 250 peer reviewed journal papers (Web of Science h-index = 40; Google Scholar h-index = 46) ^[38].

Sun has been conferred adjunct/ visiting/ consulting professorships from more than ten universities in China including Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Harbin Institute of Technology, China Agricultural University, South China University of Technology, Southern Yangtze University, and so on. Sun has also received numerous academic awards: the International Commission of Agricultural Engineering (CIGR) awarded him the CIGR Merit Award in 2000 and again in 2006 ^[39] ^[40], the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) based in the UK named him "Food Engineer of the Year 2004" ^[41] ^[42] ^[43], in 2008 he was awarded CIGR Recognition Award in honour of his achievements as the top one percent of Agricultural Engineering scientists in the world. In 2007 he was presented with “AFST(I) Fellow Award” by the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists (India), and in 2010 he was presented with “CIGR Fellow Award”.

According to Thomson Reuters’s Essential Science Indicators (ESI) updated as of 1 July 2010, based on data derived over a period of ten years plus four-month (1 January 2000 – 30 April 2010) from ISI Web of Science, a total of 2,554 scientists are among the top one percent of the most cited scientists in the category of Agriculture Sciences, and Sun tops the list with his ranking of 31^[44].

+== Keynote presentations ==
-==Research contribution==
+Sun has been invited to give plenary lecture or keynote speech at international conferences, some of his presentations are:
-The research conducted by Sun and his research team is an important component in Food Process Engineering. The research has attracted the attention of quality publications including the prestigious [[New Scientist]]. Their 2001 issue (vol 172, issue 2321, 15 December, p 24) focused on the potential of edible food coatings to extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables. A soya-based coating had already been used to preserve kiwi fruit for 37 days without any sign of rotting. The fruit normally lasts just a fortnight. The coating does much the same job as packaging, only better, according to Sun’s collaborator Shiying Xu, a food scientist at the Wuxi University of Light Industry in China. "Our film can inhibit gas exchange, control respiration rate, decrease nutrient loss, reduce evaporation and prevent the micro-organism growth that causes rotting," she explains. To protect a piece of fruit, you dip it in a solution of the coating, which dries to form a thin, transparent film. Although people usually peel kiwi fruit, the coating has to be edible because chemicals from it could migrate through the fruit's skin. The coating is a mixture of soya protein, a fatty acid called stearic acid, and pullulan—a sugary carbohydrate which is produced by a fungus and which forms sticky films. Xu says the coating should also work for apples, tomatoes and peppers, but the relative amounts of each constituent would have to be changed for each type of fruit, and that could make it expensive.
+* Computer Vision Technology-a Non-Destructive Tool for Food Quality Evaluation and Classification, keynote speech at the 7th Food Science International Symposium, Urumqi, China, 12-16 August 2012.
+* China: Current Food Safety Issues and the Need for EU Cooperation to Ensure Sustainability, plenary lecture at International Conference on Chinese-European Cooperation for a Long-Term Sustainability, Budapest, Hungary, 10-11 November 2011.
-Sun says it's hard to tell just how long the coating would preserve other types of fruit, since they all have such varied shelf-lives. Citrus fruits, for example, can last months before rotting—and that's without the coating. Like the supercool substitute for menthol, the fruit-saving film will need to go through rigorous tests before it can be approved for commercial use, says Britain's Food Standards Agency.
+* Using Hyperspectral Imaging Technique to Evaluate and Inspect Quality and Safety of Agricultural and Food Products, keynote speech at the CIGR International Symposium 2011 on Sustainable Bioproduction, Water, Energy and Food (WEF 2011), Tower Hall Funabori, Tokyo, Japan, 19-23 September 2011.
+* Developments of Novel Freezing Technologies for Improving Frozen Food Quality, keynote speech at the Functional Food and Health International Symposium, Nanjing, China, 18-22 August 2011.
-In 2002 the [[New Scientist]] focused on spotting a perfect pizza (vol 176, issue 2373, 14 December, p 9). Lamenting the "inaccuracy and subjectivity" of quality controllers in pizza factories, Sun and Tadhg Brosnan suggested that the task demanded a more rigorous mathematical approach best done by a machine. They have turned to fuzzy logic and designed algorithms that can analyse snapshots of pizzas from digital cameras and automatically pick out rejects – the ones that just don't look tasty enough. In two papers in the Journal of Food Engineering (vol 57, p 81 and p 91), they explain how their invention can diagnose a variety of worrisome pizza ailments, including patchy sauce, sparse coverings of toppings such as mushrooms or ham, and that bane of so many would-be perfect pizzas, a base with "poor alignment".
