  • Statistics
  • Botany

Gerard Downey mainly focuses on Quality, Partial least squares regression, Chemometrics, Near-infrared spectroscopy and Analytical chemistry. Gerard Downey has researched Partial least squares regression in several fields, including Wavelet and Linear regression. His work deals with themes such as Selection, Data set and Pattern recognition, which intersect with Chemometrics.

His Near-infrared spectroscopy research integrates issues from Reflectivity and Animal science. Gerard Downey interconnects Factorial discriminant analysis, Adulterant, Tenderness and Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy in the investigation of issues within Analytical chemistry. His study in Food quality is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Computer vision and Identification.

His most cited work include:

  • Hyperspectral imaging – an emerging process analytical tool for food quality and safety control (851 citations)
  • Recent technological advances for the determination of food authenticity (389 citations)
  • Mid-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics: a tool for the analysis of intact food systems and the exploration of their molecular structure-quality relationships - a review (265 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Analytical chemistry, Partial least squares regression, Near-infrared spectroscopy, Food science and Chemometrics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Factorial discriminant analysis, Principal component analysis, Calibration and Near-Infrared Spectrometry in addition to Analytical chemistry. Partial least squares regression is the subject of his research, which falls under Statistics.
