Dr. Chibuike Udenigwe, Department of Environmental Sciences, has received an Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the International Union of Food Science and Technology.
The award, given to outstanding young scientists within the first five years of obtaining their PhD, is determined by an international jury with representatives from Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and North America.
Dr. Udenigwe is the only candidate from Canada to receive this award and was selected as one of three top candidates to address delegates during the next International Union of Food Science and Technology congress in Brazil in August.
“We extend our sincere congratulations to Dr. Udenigwe on this truly outstanding achievement,” said Dr. Harold Cook, dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and principal of the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus. “This is the type of recognition that makes us all proud to be part of the Faculty of Agriculture community.”
