Or, the research must have led to innovative product development with a measurable impact on the market. The adoption of the findings must affect a significant portion of the dairy foods manufactured. Particular attention is paid to the long-term importance of the research application. The winner must have published the research during the 5 calendar years prior to the award. The winner must be and have been a member of ADSA for 5 years.
Sanjeev Anand is a well-recognized dairy science professional with about 36 years of teaching and research experience. He holds MS and PhD degrees in dairy microbiology. He joined South Dakota State University in 2006 as an assistant professor of dairy manufacturing and earned the rank of professor in 2014. Anand oversees research projects related to dairy manufacturing, product quality and safety, food and environmental pathogens, food preservation, and food safety education. He is a recipient of several awards, including the 2018 IDFA Teaching Award, 2019 Gamma Sigma Delta Teaching Award, and 2020 Fishback Honors Advocate, to name a few.
