Dr. Swarup Roy is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food Technlogy and Nutrition, Lovely Professional University. He previously worked as an Assistant Professor at the School of Bioengineering and Food Technology, Faculty of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology, Shoolini University, Solan, India. Dr. Roy teaches Biotechnology, Molecular biology, Food Chemistry and does research in biopolymer-based active and smart food packaging film/coatings. He has qualified GATE (2011) and received the DST INSPIRE fellowship award in 2011. 

He has completed his Ph.D. in Biochemistry (2016) from the University of Kalyani, West Bengal. He holds more than five years of postdoctoral research experience from various institutes Kyung Hee University (3 years) & Inha University (1 year), Republic of Korea, and Indian Institute of Technology Indore (1.5 years). 

His academic contributions include several international scientific papers, reviews, book chapters, published by ACS, Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis, RSC, Wiley, etc. He has published a total of 126 SCI/SCIE/ESCI publications, 5 book chapters, filed 2 patents and 30 other papers with 6623 citations, 48 h-index, and 105 i10-index (Google Scholar). Dr. Roy presented his research work in 6 invited talks and 27 International and National conferences.

Dr. Roy worked on the preparation of biodegradable active food packaging films using polysaccharides and protein-based biopolymers. He also worked on smart pH-sensitive color indicator film as a food freshness indicator. He has also fabricated various multifunctional bio-based nanocomposites. He has received 1st class 1st award from the University of Kalyani (2011), CEFIPRA-ESONN Indo-French Fellowship 2015 for participating European School on Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies at Grenoble, France. 

He also holds the post of Academic editor of various journals: Packaging Technology and Science (Impact Factor – 2.6), International Journal of Biomaterials (Impact Factor – 3.1), International Journal of Food Science (Impact Factor – 4.0), Frontiers in Nanotechnology, Editorial Board member of Materials (Impact Factor – 3.4), Journal of Food Quality (3.3), Section Editorial board member of Polymers (Impact Factor – 5), and also serving as a Guest editor of Polymers, Coatings (Impact Factor – 3.4), Materials (Impact factor 3.4), Journal of Composite Science (Impact factor 3.2), International journal of molecular Sciences (Impact Factor –  and Journal of Nanomaterials Apart from this, he has reviewed three book proposals from Elsevier and also served as a reviewer of over 75 international journals.

At present, Dr. Roy is involved in research work based on the fabrication of blend biopolymers-based food packaging films/coatings. His research work is focused on the preparation and application of biopolymer-based functional active and smart food packaging film and coatings.
