María Guðjónsdóttir (b. 1980) is a professor in Food Science at the Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition[1] of the University of Iceland.
Career
Professor Guðjónsdóttir graduated from the Physics I department from the high school Menntaskólinn í Reykjavík in 2000, obtained a Bachelor degree in chemical engineering from the University of Iceland in collaboration with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in the spring of 2004, a master of science degree in chemical engineering with engineering physics from Chalmers [2] Technical University in Gothemburg, Sweden in 2006, and a PhD in biotechnology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2011. Alongside her studies Guðjónsdóttir worked as a project manager for the Icelandic fisheries laboratories (2005-2006) and later Matis Food and Biotech R&D (2007-2012).[3] Guðjónsdóttir worked as a post doctorate fellow at the Résonance Magnétique des Systèmes Biologique (RMSB) platform of Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA)[4] in Theix, Saint-Genes Champanelle, France in 2011-2012. Guðjónsdóttir got a position as assistant professor at the Technical University of Denmark, National Food Institute DTU-Food[5] in Kongens Lyngby in Denmark (2013-2015) until a similar position opened up at the University of Iceland in 2015. Guðjónsdóttir was promoted to associate professor in 2016 and to professor in 2018, at a young age of 37.[6] Professor Guðjónsdóttir is currently also the vice dean of the Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Iceland.[7]
Professor Guðjónsdóttir's research focus lies in the use of fast quality assessment methods to analyze the quality of food throughout their value chains, including all from the characteristics of the raw material to their health effects upon consumption. Amongst analytical qualiy methods that Professor Guðjónsdóttir specializes in are various spectroscopic methods (near infrared (NIR), visual (VIS), ultraviolet (UV) etc.), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Guðjónsdóttir's scientific work was presented in the Icelandic science web (Vísindavefurinn) in July 2018.[8] Professor Guðjónsdóttir has also published numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles[9][10][11][12][13][14][15], and presented her work through both oral and poster presentations in international conferences. More detailed overviews of Professor Guðjónsdóttir's main research projects and publications can be seen on her ORCID[16], SCOPUS[17] and Researchgate[18] pages.
Professor Guðjónsdóttir is currently the study program head of undergraduate studies in food science at the University of Iceland and is the University of Iceland's representative in the Nordic joint master program Aquatic food production.[19] Professor Guðjónsdóttir sits in the scientific committee of the School of Health Sciences of the University of Iceland, in the scientific board of the University of Iceland Research fund and is vice representative for the School of Health Sciences in the boards of the Environmental and Natural Resources[20] and Industrial biotechnology[21]. Professor Guðjónsdóttir teaches several courses on the physicochemcial properties of food and food engineering and she has then supervised several Ph.D. and M.Sc. graduate students.
Career
María Guðjónsdóttir's parents are Dr. Guðjón Haraldsson (b. 1952) urologist and Sigríður Siemsen (b. 1952) pharmacist. She has one son, Oliver Alexandrenne (b. 2008), and her brothers are Haraldur Guðjónsson (b. 1974) economist, and Helgi Guðjónsson biologist.
