Dominic Agyei is an Associate Professor specializing in Food Chemistry at Monash University. He is passionate about leveraging bioprocess engineering and computational tools to develop high-value bioactive products from biological materials. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Technology from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, obtained in 2008, and a PhD in Chemical (Bioprocess) Engineering from Monash University, awarded in 2014. Prior to his PhD, he worked as an Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Deakin University, where he researched chemo-enzymatic methods for designing peptide-lipid bio-conjugates for food and pharmaceutical applications. After completing his PhD, he joined the University of Otago as a Lecturer in Food Science and earned a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education. His research focuses on utilizing silico modeling and bioprocess engineering to investigate the structures, properties, and techno-functional biological activities of food-derived compounds. He is particularly interested in the nutritional health implications of edible insects, viewing them as a promising avenue for sustainable food innovation. Dominic serves on the Administrative Council for Early Career Scientists at the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) and is recognized as a doctoral supervisor under the UK's Council for Graduate Education's Good Supervisory Practice Framework.
