Michael Sulyok is a prominent researcher at the Institute of Bioanalytics and Agro-Metabolomics, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), specializing in advanced analytical methods for food and feed safety. His work focuses on developing quantitative LC-MS/MS techniques capable of detecting over 1000 fungal metabolites and plant toxins at sub-μg/kg levels, leveraging one of the world's largest collections of fungal metabolite standards. He actively collaborates with international partners including Wageningen University and Nigerian research institutions. His core research interests include: Overcoming matrix effects in multi-toxin analysis Validation of high-throughput LC-MS/MS methods Climate change impacts on mycotoxin occurrence Infrared spectroscopy (NIR/MIR) for rapid on-field screening Diffusion patterns of toxins in mold-affected foods Emerging contaminants beyond EU-regulated mycotoxins Analysis of his 2025 publications reveals strong emphasis on real-time monitoring solutions, particularly portable infrared spectroscopy integrated into agricultural machinery for wheat quality assessment. His team is pioneering the use of CO2 sensors and 3D-printed modules for early contamination detection, while expanding multi-analyte coverage to plant-based alternatives and animal feeds under diverse environmental conditions. No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials. Sulyok supervises graduate theses at BOKU as indicated by his participation in Doc Day events, though specific student names were not disclosed. His research is supported by EU-funded consortia including FFoQSI and MycoKey, with extensive field work in Africa examining mycotoxin exposure in dairy cattle, maize, and infant foods. He leads a specialized team within BOKU's Tulln campus facility, utilizing cutting-edge mass spectrometers and chemometric approaches. The group maintains critical reference standards for fungal metabolites and is currently developing combine harvester-integrated NIR systems for wheat breeding, alongside investigating fungal metabolite profiles in aquaponics and novel matrices like vegan cheeses and moldy bread.

Pedro Henrique Sessegolo Ferzola is a researcher at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), affiliated with the Institute of Animal Nutrition, Livestock Products and Nutrition Physiology within the Department of Agricultural Sciences. His work focuses on understanding nutrient flows from feedstuffs to animal products within the food chain, with particular emphasis on non-ruminant animals and fish. Doctorate Degree (BOKU University, 2022-2025) MBA in Design Thinking and Business Management (2021-2022) Graduated Degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (2021-2022) Master's Degree in Agribusiness (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2020-2021) Graduated Degree in Agribusiness Management (2020-2021) Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2014-2020) Pedro's research centers on non-ruminant and fish nutrition and physiology, investigating metabolic pathways to understand unique modes of action in these species. His work spans feed science, feed additives, and nutritional physiology, with applications in poultry science and aquaculture. He examines how different feed components affect animal performance, health, and product quality, with particular attention to addressing challenges like myopathies in poultry and developing sustainable feed solutions for aquaculture. Pedro's publication record shows a transition from traditional poultry nutrition research to expanding into aquaculture and fish nutrition. His early work focused extensively on broiler nutrition, examining feed ingredients, additives, and management practices. More recently, he has shifted toward fish nutrition, particularly investigating local fish meal production and thermal treatment effects on rainbow trout performance, reflecting growing interest in sustainable aquaculture solutions. Academic Relevance at the XXVIII Scientific Initiation Congress, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (2016) Jones-Hamilton Co. Undergraduate Student Travel Award, Poultry Science Association 105th Annual Meeting (2016) Honorable Mention of José Maria Lamas da Silva Award, FACTA Conference (2015) Pedro is actively involved in research projects including the FFoQSI: Fish Feed project (2021-2024), which focuses on developing fish feed solutions using local resources. His work involves collaboration with multiple institutions and researchers across Austria and internationally. While specific advising details aren't fully documented, his participation in numerous scientific congresses and presentations suggests engagement with students and early-career researchers in his field. As part of BOKU's Institute of Animal Nutrition, Livestock Products and Nutrition Physiology, Pedro contributes to a research environment focused on understanding nutrient flows from feedstuffs to animal products. His work bridges fundamental nutritional science with practical applications in food production systems, particularly in the areas of poultry and emerging aquaculture research.
