Decades after his early thermal preservation process research helped lay the foundation for Aseptia’s evolvement, Dr. Kenneth R. Swartzel returns to the technology company as its new science advisor. Swartzel, a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus from North Carolina State University, moved into the role in early August 2016.
“Aseptia is doing what I have been focusing on for a big part of my academic career,” said Swartzel who dedicated 40 years to N.C. State before retiring in 2015. “Becoming commercial and becoming a commercial success, that’s what I’ve worked toward since the early 1980s.”
