CLUSTER ONE

MATERIAL AND FOOD SCIENCES


The papaya structure symbolizes a commitment to exploring preservation methods, a focal point within the realm of food science. The mosaic-style depiction of the papaya is a nod to the investigation into innovative materials like bioplastics, drawing a connection to the study of eggshells. Additionally, the plastic encompassing the papaya signifies the exploration into the world of microplastics within this cluster. Each element of the logo seamlessly weaves together the diverse aspects of research pursuits, creating a visual representation of our multidisciplinary approach to scientific inquiry.

Material science is a multidisciplinary field that delves into understanding the properties and applications of materials. On the other hand, food science focuses on scrutinizing food production, processing, and preservation methods to ensure safety and elevate quality. Studies within this cluster further emphasize areas such as food quality assessment, bioplastics, and microplastics, illustrating the interdependence of the two scientific disciplines in contributing to advancements in materials and food technology.
