Dipak Sarker is a principal lecturer, a qualification related to expert teaching skills. He has a long history of academic instruction and scholarly activity – through teaching, study coordination, and peer‐reviewed publication – that extends over the last 25 years. He gained a PhD in physics in 1995 from the University of East Anglia (UK), having worked at the Max‐Planck Institute in Berlin, Germany; the Biophysics Group at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, UK; the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK; the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Nantes, France; and the École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France. He has also taught and managed staff during his employment in industry and during his current industrial collaborative research. His areas of expertise traverse process engineering and analytical chemistry to materials sciences and the physics of simple and complex materials and industrial dispersions. He also has a wealth of experience based around pharmaceutical technology, medical devices, and the processing of foods. He has worked as a process and development scientist for some of the most significant global manufacturers of foods, medicines, and medical devices (Unilever, Hoffmann‐La Roche, and GSK). He has supervised approximately 17 doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers and more than 40 masters students over the period of 25 years, with countless numbers of undergraduate research projects. He has collaborated with researchers, and supervised, taught, and trained postgraduates across Europe and Asia. He has also presented his works at a large number of international conferences (from Vietnam to the USA). He is the editor of two advanced drug delivery and nanotechnology journals and is on the editorial board of more than other 10 journals covering food science, materials, engineering, physics, nanotechnology, and drug delivery science and device technology. He has authored two complete books and three book chapters. He has always worked across disciplines and, despite working in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, has research students and postdoctoral researchers traversing, for example, physics, chemistry, and engineering, including computational modelling of impacting droplets, process optimisation for commercial medicines, soft matter, complex fluid physics, delivery of drugs and anti‐cancer nanoparticles, plasma physics, recycling of cotton and plastic waste materials, and cleaning technology for automobiles. He currently collaborates with academics and industrialists in the UK, India, China, France, the USA, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Italy.
