About the Editor
Tomy J. Gutiérrez has a degree in chemistry
(Geochemical option) from the Central University of
Venezuela (UCV) (December, 2007), a degree in education (Chemical mention) from the same university
(UCV, July, 2008), has a specialization in International
Negotiation of Hydrocarbons from the National
Polytechnic Experimental University of the National
Armed Force (UNEFA), Venezuela (July, 2011), as
well has a Master’s and PhD degree in Food Science
and Technology obtained in October 2013 and April
2015, respectively, both from the UCV. He also has a
PhD studies in Metallurgy and Materials Science from the UCV and postdoctoral
studies at the Research Institute in Materials Science and Technology (INTEMA).
Dr. Gutiérrez has been a professor–researcher at the UCV in both the Institute of
Food Science and Technology (ICTA) and the School of Pharmacy. He is currently
an adjunct researcher in the INTEMA – National Scientific and Technical Research
Council (CONICET), Argentina. Dr. Gutiérrez is author of 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, Advances in Polymer Technology 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, 2018
Impact Factor 1.341). Dr. Gutiérrez today 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 in international projects between Argentina
and Brazil, Colombia, France, Poland, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Venezuela.
