About me
I am a Food Scientist with a robust academic background in biological-chemical and engineering perspectives from Technical University of Munich (TUM, Germany) and RMIT University (Australia).
- I specialised in biopolymer science at TUM, with a particular focus on dairy proteins and membrane filtration technologies, and further extended my expertise at the Fraunhofer Institute through work on enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) for protein recovery from algae.
- During my Ph.D. candidature, I worked extensively on extrusion technology for meat analogue development, which ignited a strong interest in sustainable, plant-based proteins derived from legumes and pulses.
- Specifically, my scientific direction encompasses the extraction, physico-chemical characterisation, and integration of soy, pea and faba bean proteins into food products as novel ingredients.
Beyond research, I am deeply committed to mentoring and tutoring students.
As an Associate Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, I am dedicated to fostering high-quality learning outcomes and inspiring the next generation of food scientists.
