Dr. Falkenberg has been a contributing member of the Nonthermal Processing Division of the Institute of Food Technologists and the European Federation of Food Science and Technology. His BSL2 laboratory conducts efficacy testing of a verity of new and existing Nonthermal Processing Technologies, e.g., high-pressure processing, pulsed electric field, electronic beam, High intensity electric field, radio frequency, microwave and cold plasma. Concentrating on the evaluation atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) Dr. Falkenberg has spent the last 10 years evaluating the efficacy of this technology. He developed an objective way to measure the eduction in bioburden by employing volumetric air sampling and using Spatial mapping as an impartial way to show pretreatment and post treatment results. Dr Falkenberg has tested the effectiveness of over 25 different ACP devices not only in the laboratory but also in surgical suites, intermediate size hospitals, dental offices, veterinary clinics as well as child and elderly care facilities, yoga studios and gyms.
