Sponsors for the Surimi School USA Previous Years

 

Since its establishment in 1993, the program founder Prof. Jae Park has offered the surimi school over 70 times globally. With his retirement from OSU in Dec 2020, his entire programs have been consolidated into Surimi School Asia, Surimi School Europe, and Surimi School USA under the Jae Park Surimi School. He has designated Dr. Samanan Poowakanjana (CEO, Korat Cold Storage), who is his former doctoral student, as his program successor. Prof. Park will work with him in the next few years, and Dr. Samanan will take over the programs gradually.

Unlike other programs (SSA and SSE), Surimi School USA will work closely with Angee Hunt, Asst Professor of Practice, OSU Seafood Lab, who is also Prof. Park¡¯s former student, to carry out various surimi research. A significant portion of income (primarily sponsorship) will be used for surimi research and education at OSU Seafood Lab and other designated research institutes. The outcome of funded research will be disseminated through the Jae Park Surimi School.
