Megh R. Goyal, PhD, PE, is a Retired Professor in Agricultural and Biomedical Engineering from the General Engineering Department in the College of Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico–Mayaguez Campus. He has worked as a Soil Conservation Inspector and as a Research Assistant at Haryana Agricultural University and Ohio State University. He was the first agricultural engineer to receive the professional license in Agricultural Engineering from the College of Engineers and Surveyors of Puerto Rico and was proclaimed as the "Father of Irrigation Engineering in Puerto Rico for the twentieth century" by the ASABE, Puerto Rico Section, for his pioneering work on micro irrigation, evapotranspiration, agroclimatology, and soil and water engineering. During his professional career of over 52 years, he has received many prestigious awards. A prolific author and editor, he has written more than 200 journal articles and several textbooks and has edited over 100 books. N. Veena, PhD, is Associate Professor, Department of Food Safety and Quality, DSLD-College of Horticultural Engineering and Food Technology, University of Horticultural Sciences (UHS), Devihosur, Haveri, Karnataka, India. Her area of expertise includes fortification of milk, development and characterization of functional dairy foods, and nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals and their delivery. She is a recipient of junior research and institutional fellowships from the ICAR–National Dairy Research Institute during her master’s and doctoral programs. She was involved in several institutional and externally funded research projects, such as Milkfed (Punjab), ICAR, and RKVY as principal or co-investigator. She has published many research papers and review articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals as well as several book chapters, popular articles, and chapters in compendium and manuals. Dr. Veena also developed e-learning content for postgraduate dairy chemistry courses under the ICAR National Agricultural Higher Education Project. She has presented her research work at various national and international seminars and conferences and has received several awards for best oral and poster presentations. Santosh K. Mishra, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Dairy Microbiology at the College of Dairy Science and Technology at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. He is currently working in the area of functional foods and dairy products, researching live probiotics and technology of functional lactic cultures for fermented and non-fermented dairy products. He has served in the dairy industry as a Quality Assurance Executive at Mother Dairy, New Delhi, India. Dr. Mishra is handling several externally funded projects by the Indian Department of Science and Technology, the Indian Ministry of Food Processing Industries, and the Indian University Grants Commission as principal investigator or co-principal investigator. He has received several awards for best paper and poster presentations as well as junior and senior research fellowships during his master’s and doctoral programs from the National Dairy Research Institute. He has published several research, review, and popular articles in national and international journals as well as several book chapters and teaching reviews in various training programs.
