Edwin Pang

Professor Edwin Pang is an Honorary Professor in the School of Science at RMIT University, Australia. His research focuses on genetics, plant biology, complementary and alternative medicine, and food sciences. He leads projects on bioactive honey production, strawberry flavor improvement, and medicinal plant analysis. His work integrates molecular techniques like microarrays and GC-MS to study plant compounds and stress responses. He collaborates on developing novel methods for disease detection via drones and lidar systems. Supervision is open for PhD/Masters research in related areas.

• Education: Not explicitly stated, but extensive research experience in plant sciences.

Research interests span plant genetics, antimicrobial properties of natural products, and agricultural technologies. His publications highlight advancements in honey bioactivity, strawberry flavor genetics, and medicinal herb characterization. He has pioneered subtracted diversity arrays for species fingerprinting and molecular marker development in crops like chickpea and lentil.

Recent articles emphasize honey’s role in health (e.g., atherosclerosis mitigation), plant disease detection systems, and volatile compound analysis in herbs. Awards and grants are not detailed, but his interdisciplinary approach bridges biology, chemistry, and engineering.
