Delighted to see Prof Paula Bourke is among the top 1% of the world's most cited academics according to the latest Highly Cited Researchers report, compiled by Clarivate Analytics.

Named for a fifth time in the Highly Cited Researchers annual listings, Conway Fellow and Head of the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, Professor Paula Bourke has been ranked among the top 1% of the most cited researchers globally since 2018. Working largely in the areas of sustainable food systems and novel antimicrobial technologies, her research crosses over to bio-medically relevant issues including infection prevention and cold plasma bioscience.  Her work at the intersection of food and health domains has underpinned her highly cited researcher designation with the Cross-Field recognition. A member of the UCD Institute of Food and Health, Professor Bourke collaborates widely internationally and with industry, and her work has been supported by SFI, the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine, the Irish Research Council, the Royal Irish Academy as well as Enterprise Ireland and other awards.
