This researcher focuses on meat science, particularly understanding and improving meat quality (tenderness, color, flavor, freshness) through biochemical, proteomic, and metabolomic analysis of postmortem muscle changes. Their work spans traditional meat products like beef, pork, and lamb as well as emerging areas like plant-based meat alternatives and the use of machine learning tools for meat industry applications. Prospective students would likely engage in lab-based food chemistry and biology research combined with some computational and data-analysis methods.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a peak in 2022 (16 papers) but has settled into a steadier, moderate pace of roughly 6-7 publications per year in recent years.
