Stefan Toepfl (* 1976 in Grafenau) is a German food technologist and professor. He has studied food technology at Technical University of Berlin and joined the Food Biotechnology and Process Engineering Lab headed by Prof. Dietrich Knorr in 2002. In 2006 he has been awarded with a PhD on food process engineering from Technical University of Berlin. After finishing his PhD he has been active as a research associate at DIL German Institute of Food Technologies. His research interests are focused on:


 * Process and equipment design for high pressure processing, extrusion or pulsed electric fields
 * Sustainable food processing
 * Process optimization and validation

In 2009 Stefan Toepfl has joined Osnabrueck University of Applied Sciences as a professor of food process engineering, teaching in a study program jointly offered with DIL. Since 2017 he is managing director of a spin-off entity focusing of marketing of non-thermal food processing equipment for potato and vegetable processing. Stefan Toepfl is active as a reviewer for scientific journals and funding bodies and a member of the scientific board of the Research Association of the German Food Industry (FEI). In 2009 his work has been awarded with the Georg Carl Hahn Research Prize.
