About the Editor
Tomy J. Gutiérrez received his degrees in Chemistry
(Geochemical Option) and in Education (Chemical
Mention) from the Central University of Venezuela
(UCV) in December 2007 and July 2008, respectively.
He completed his specialization in International
Negotiation of Hydrocarbons from the National
Polytechnic Experimental University of the National
Armed Force (UNEFA), Venezuela, in July 2011, and
his Master’s and PhD degrees in Food Science and
Technology in October 2013 and April 2015, respectively, both from the UCV. He has also PhD studies in
Metallurgy and Materials Science from the UCV and
postdoctoral studies in the Research Institute in
Materials Science and Technology (INTEMA). He has been a Professor/Researcher
both at the Institute of Food Science and Technology (ICTA) and the School of
Pharmacy at the UCV. Currently, he is an Adjunct Researcher in the INTEMA,
National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), Argentina.
Dr. Gutiérrez has at least 20 book chapters, 40 publications in international journals
of high-impact factor, and 5 published books. He has been a Lead Guest Editor of
several international journals such as Journal of Food Quality, Polymers for
Advanced Technologies and Current Pharmaceutical Design. He is also an Editorial
Board Member of different international journals such as Food and Bioprocess
Technology (from April 2019 to the present, 2019 impact factor 3.356), Current
Nutraceuticals (from May 2019 to the present), and Journal of Renewable Materials
(from June 2019 to the present, 2019 impact factor 1.341). Currently, he is developing a line of research in nanostructured materials based on polymers (composite
materials), which are obtained on a pilot scale to be transferred to the agricultural,
food, pharmaceutical and polymer industries. He is also a collaborator of international projects between Argentina and Brazil, Colombia, France, Poland, Spain,
Italy, Sweden and Venezuela.
