Kundun Kamalakar
Icahn School of Medicine, United States

Kundun Kamalakar is a researcher affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine in the United States whose indexed scholarly record includes work associated with advances in food microbiology. According to the supplied Scopus profile information, the researcher has two indexed documents, 14 citations, and an h-index of 1. [1] The recognition under the Innovative Research Award category reflects an academic profile presented within the field of food science and microbiological research. Bibliometric indicators such as documents, citations, and h-index can provide quantitative context for scholarly activity, although they represent only selected dimensions of research contribution. [2]

Abstract

This academic recognition profile presents Kundun Kamalakar in connection with the Innovative Research Award at the International Food Scientist Awards. The profile identifies the Icahn School of Medicine as the institutional affiliation and Advances in Food Microbiology as the principal subject area. The available bibliometric record provides a concise quantitative description of indexed scholarly output, while the research field places emphasis on microbiological dimensions relevant to food science, safety, quality, and related biological processes.

Keywords

  • Food Microbiology
  • Food Safety
  • Microbial Research
  • Food Quality
  • Innovative Research

Introduction

Food microbiology examines microorganisms associated with food production, processing, preservation, quality, and safety. It encompasses the identification and characterization of microorganisms, microbial ecology, contamination control, and approaches for understanding beneficial or harmful microbial activity. International food-safety frameworks emphasize microbiological hazards as an important component of food safety management. [3] Research in this area can therefore contribute to evidence-based approaches for monitoring and managing microbiological risks across food systems.

Research Profile

The supplied researcher profile associates Kundun Kamalakar with the Icahn School of Medicine and the subject area Advances in Food Microbiology. The indexed record contains two documents, 14 citations, and an h-index of 1. [1] These indicators should be interpreted as descriptive bibliometric measures rather than comprehensive assessments of scientific quality. The h-index was originally proposed as a metric combining publication productivity and citation impact, although its interpretation varies according to discipline, career stage, and database coverage. [2]

Research Contributions

Within the stated subject area, research contributions may involve microbiological characterization, foodborne microorganisms, microbial quality assessment, food-safety evaluation, and the development or application of analytical approaches. Such work can support improved understanding of microbial behavior and its relationship to food quality and safety. International standards such as ISO 22000 provide a broader framework for food-safety management systems and risk-based control. [4]

Publications

The supplied Scopus record reports two indexed documents associated with the researcher. [1] Because individual publication titles, journals, years, and DOI identifiers were not supplied in the source information, this page does not attribute specific publications or DOI records to Kundun Kamalakar without verification. This approach preserves bibliographic accuracy while distinguishing the documented profile information from broader literature concerning food microbiology.

Research Impact

The profile records 14 citations and an h-index of 1 in Scopus. [1] Citation counts provide one measurable indication of scholarly visibility, but citation practices differ among disciplines and publication types. Consequently, quantitative indicators are most appropriately considered alongside research relevance, methodological contribution, collaboration, reproducibility, and other forms of academic activity. [2]

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award profile connects Kundun Kamalakar with advances in food microbiology, a field relevant to contemporary food safety and quality research. The stated institutional affiliation, indexed scholarly record, citation information, and identified subject area provide documented elements for an academic recognition profile. [1] The award context is presented as an academic recognition within the International Food Scientist Awards.

Conclusion

Kundun Kamalakar is presented in this academic profile as a researcher associated with the Icahn School of Medicine and the field of Advances in Food Microbiology. The supplied Scopus metrics document two indexed documents, 14 citations, and an h-index of 1. Together with the stated research area, these details establish a concise bibliometric and disciplinary profile for recognition under the Innovative Research Award category.
