Research summary

Christopher T. Simons studies human sensory perception, focusing on how people taste, smell, and feel food through touch (mouthfeel) and chemical sensations like cooling or astringency. Much of his recent work examines how new technologies—such as virtual reality, gamification, and smart-speaker surveys—can make sensory and consumer testing more realistic and engaging. This research is relevant to students interested in food science, sensory psychology, and consumer testing methods.
