Welcome to my Research Page. My research program spans the intersection of food science and nutrition. As the faculty member responsible for the University of Maine Sensory Evaluation Center, I oversee a variety of projects including the evaluation of new potato varieties, using kokumi substances to enhance reduced-fat foods, development of easy-to-swallow nutritious foods for older adults, assessment of consumer interest in Maine value-added foods such as maple syrup, seaweed and vegetables, and understanding barriers to consumer liking of whole grain and high-fiber foods. I currently advise four M.S. thesis students in the Food Science and Human Nutrition program.  If you are interested in joining my group to pursue thesis research, please make sure that all of your application materials are submitted by January 15 to be considered for the following Fall semester.  Funding opportunities may arise later in the year. I prefer to work with students whose grade point averages are at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.  We no longer require GRE scores for M.S. applicants. If you are an undergraduate student who would like to gain experience in sensory evaluation, please email me to set up a meeting. 

The Sensory Evaluation Center website is being revised, so please check back soon. There will be videos and more information on services offered. We welcome collaborators from within the University of Maine system, and other universities and organizations. Our group has worked with researchers from the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center, FDA, and USDA. If you are interested in sensory difference testing, consumer acceptance studies or market research, please contact me for more information. Thanks to a grant from the Maine Technology Asset Fund, I can take our SIMS 2000 testing program to any location with a wireless Internet service. Most of my current research focuses on sensory and consumer science.

I am collaborating with other faculty from the University of Maine and University of New England on the AgingME project, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration under its Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program.
