Bio

Dr Ge joined RIT in 2005 and has served as the founding director of the American Packaging Corporation Center for Packaging Innovation at RIT since 2008. Prior to joining RIT, Dr Ge worked as the Technical Director for Pack Solutions Pte Ltd and Senior Engineer in Singapore Institute of Industrial Research in Singapore. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Packaging Research, ASTM D10.13 Chairman and board member of IAPRI. He was awarded research grants by NASA and NPA on “Protective packaging for Extravehicular activity on the lunar surface” and “Protective packaging for daguerreotype photographs for George Eastman Museum”, respectively.

Dr Ge’s primary research interest includes design and modeling of the protective packaging, field measurement for packaging and lab simulation. His current research interest also focuses on designing and modeling new packaging materials to improve the barrier and mechanical properties.
