Shuva Bhowmik obtained his Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Food Science from the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, in 2025. He obtained his MSc in Fisheries Techology and BSc in Fisheries from the Bangladesh Agricultural University, and Noakhali Science and Techology University, Bangladesh, respectively. His research focused on functional carbohydrate and proteins (biomaterials) in active and intelligent food packaging, extraction of bioactive compounds and their functional properties, incorporating nanoparticles in biosensing applications and 3D printing, new product development, composition analysis and sensory evaluation in light of nutritional security, microbial enzyme, food chemistry, digestion, and nutraceutical applications.
