Laboratory Assistant

Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory was established in 2012 alongside the establishment of the Faculty of Food Technology and Agroindustry. The Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory facilitates educational activities such as practicum and research activities for the faculty members. The Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory focuses on the application of principles and concepts of chemistry, physics, and engineering, particularly in the handling, processing, and distribution of agricultural products while still prioritizes the conservation and conversion of agricultural products. This laboratory also actively enganged in the research related to postharvest equipment design and food processing, development, operation, and processing of agricultural products. Laboratory works carried out such as Unit Operations, Drying and Cooling Techniques, Agricultural Product Processing Techniques, Agricultural Product Engineering Characteristics, and Bioprocess Engineering II.
