Prof. Harold Corke joined GTIIT Biotechnology and Food Engineering Program in October, 2020, 30 years after completing his PhD in Plant Genetics at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
Previously, he was included in Shanghai’s key talent program, and full-time Chair Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology, School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, from 2016-2020. He was previously Professor in Food and Nutritional Sciences, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, where he spent 24 years. Prof. Corke is active in both basic and applied research in grain processing, genetics of grain quality, and chemistry of plant bioactives. He has published more than 330 international journal papers (with 35,092 citations, h-index = 92, Google Scholar, July 2023). Prof. Corke has graduated 27 PhD students who have gone on to successful academic and industry careers around the world. He was editor of the Elsevier Encyclopedia of Food Grains (2016) and is currently an editor of Journal of Cereal Science and LWT-Food Science and Technology.
Prof. Corke has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses – at GTIIT these are currently Biotechnology Entrepreneurship, Advanced Technologies in Food Engineering (a product development based course), and Food & Sustainability (an elective course).
Prof. Corke’s current lab team consists of four post-doctoral level members, four PhD students, one MSc student, and two research assistants.
