About me
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Food Science at Cornell University. Previously, I was an analytic food scientist in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Virginia Tech. I obtained my Ph.D. in Food Science and Technology from Virginia Tech in 2020. Before that, I have one year of industry experience in China at a food ingredient and biotechnology company. I received my master's degree and bachelor's degree in Food Science and Engineering from China Agricultural University in 2014 and 2012. I serve as a Topic Editor in MDPI Publications and as a Content & Newsletter Lead in IFT Nutrition Division.
My research interest focuses on developing novel processing and encapsulation approaches to manipulate the structure of foods/ingredients and improve their stability, functionality, and bioactivity for industrial applications and health improvement. Find out more.
I also share a common interest with my husband, Dr. Lifeng Zhou, in the areas of Robotics, Precision Agriculture, and Smart Cities. He is an Assistant Professor at Drexel University. To learn more about his research and group, see here.
