Amit Morey

Amit Morey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Poultry Science at Auburn University's College of Agriculture. His research focuses on food safety, poultry meat quality, and advanced sensing technologies. He leads projects involving biosensor development, microbial pathogen detection, and spoilage prediction using machine learning and spectral imaging. His work bridges laboratory innovations with industry applications, addressing challenges in poultry processing, packaging, and supply chain management.

Education details are not explicitly listed, but his extensive publications suggest advanced training in food science, microbiology, and engineering. Research interests include antimicrobial biopolymer films, texture analysis of catfish and chicken fillets, and the application of functional ice in seafood preservation. He has pioneered methods for rapid Salmonella detection using microfluidics and fiber optics-based SERS sensors.

Notable contributions include developing predictive models for spoilage using near-infrared spectroscopy and exploring cyclic temperature abuse impacts on poultry safety. His interdisciplinary approach integrates artificial intelligence with traditional food science techniques to enhance food safety and reduce waste.

While no specific grants or awards are listed, his active publication record (over 100 papers from 2005–2025) indicates sustained research funding. He collaborates on projects addressing global food safety inequities, such as sensor-enabled decision support systems (SENS-D) for vulnerable communities.

Lab activities include the Auburn Poultry Science Lab, focusing on meat quality assessment, microbial interventions, and smart packaging solutions. His work has direct industry impact, with applications in poultry processing plants and retail cold chain management.
