Synergistic Activities: up

  • I have created the new colloidal and interfacial food science laboratory to facilitate the training of food science and microbiology students in the area of physicochemical properties of foods.

  • I have initiated collaborative research projects with the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science to facilitate transfer of knowledge between students of the biological and physical sciences.

  • I am developing a new course in physicochemical properties of biomaterials.

  • I have initiated and participated in workshops to disseminate new research insights in textural properties of foods to our clientele across Tennessee.
