Dolores C. Pérez Marín
Full Professor at University of Córdoba; Phd Agriculture Engineering
PhD in Agricultural Engineering (University of Córdoba – UCO, Spain).
Full Professor in Engineering and Technology of Livestock Production, as well as in Near-Infrared Sensors for Quality, Safety, and Traceability of Agro-Food Products at the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering (ETSIAM), University of Córdoba, Spain. She has served as Director of the Master’s program “Engineering and Management in the Food Chain”, Vice Dean for International Relations, and currently coordinates a Doctoral Program in Agrifood Engineering.
She is the President of the ICNIRS (International Council of Near-infrared Spectroscopy). She has served as Chair of the ICNIRS Educational Committee (2017–2025).
She is internationally recognized for her expertise in the use of sensors and emerging technologies applied to food quality, integrity and authenticity. Her work in NIR spectral sensors covers both fundamental and applied research. She began in 1999, focusing on nonlinear calibration methodologies to address the complex challenge of measuring ingredient composition in unground compound animal feeds. Since then, her research has expanded to cover a broad spectrum of food and agricultural applications—feeds, fats and oils, meats, protein-rich animal by-products, milk and dairy, and various fruits and vegetables—using NIRS, either alone or in combination with other sensors. A key area of her expertise lies in processing large datasets using multivariate analysis and nonlinear modeling tools.
Her research has led to over 400 scientific publications, including 165 peer-reviewed articles in top-tier journals (H-index: 37), along with numerous invited talks at national and international conferences and workshops. She has participated in, managed, and coordinated numerous national and European R&D projects, as well as industry-driven technology transfer contracts. She led the COST Action SensorFINT (European Network for Assuring Food Integrity Using Non-Destructive Spectral Sensors, 2020–2024), which brought together more than 30 countries and 300 researchers from Europe and beyond, and the COST Innovator Grant SensAIfood (AI Methods for Spectral Data Processing to Address Food Fraud and Authenticity Issues, 2024–2025). Additionally, she is an editor of the Journal of NIRS, a consultant for the FAO, and a member of the International Scientific Advisory Board at the Institute for Global Food Security, Queen’s University Belfast (UK).
She was awarded the International Tomas Hirschfeld Award in 2014 and the International Birth Award in 2020 for her outstanding contributions to the field of NIR spectroscopy.
