| Dr Tom Ross |
 |
Dr Tom Ross is currently Professor in Food Microbiology at the University of Tasmania's Food Safety Centre, Tasmania, Australia. Dr Ross started research work in the early 1990¡¯s on mathematical modelling of the microbial ecology of foods.The results of his team¡¯s studies are used to improve the safety and shelf life of
foods. Some have been adopted into Australian food regulations and integrated into commercial computer programs for use by industry. Latterly, those techniques have been integrated into the development of microbial food safety risk assessments for government and industry, both within Australia and overseas. These studies also motivate new laboratory-based research projects to better characterise risks of infections and intoxications from foods. Dr Ross has published about 100 scientific papers and book chapters. He has served on both Australian and international expert committees concerned with food safety, and currently collaborates in national and international food safety research projects.
