Joost Laurus Dinant NelisDr. Joost (Jordi) Nelis obtained a BSc. in general Biology at the University of Antwerp in Belgium and a MSc. in Biotechnology specializing in Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry. He later joined a H2020 Marie Curie project for his PhD in analytical biohemistry at Queen's University Belfast (UK). During his PhD Jordi developed various smartphone-hyphenated biosensors for the detection of food contaminants utilizing electrochemical, colorimetric and plasmonic transducers. After his PhD Dr. Nelis joined the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Australia (CSIRO). At CSIRO his research focusses on integrating mass spectrometry and novel data science workflows with cutting edge portable sensors to enable automated, in-situ credential verification. Dr. Nelis is passionate about doing research that contributes to a better and sustainable future and his intense research activity has resulted in the publication of 16 peer-reviewed publications in high impact factor journals and one patent. Dr. Nelis currently leads several interdisciplinary initiatives that aim to solve complex challenges and generate measurable impact in the global food security and biosecurity sectors by providing fit-for-purpose sensing solutions.
