Research Supervisor in English Literature, University of Cambridge

Research Supervisor in English Literature, University of Cambridge I am a supervisor in English Literature at the University of Cambridge. My work is situated in the interdisciplinary field of sensory studies. My interests lie primarily in post-45 literature, but more broadly in literature 1900-present and critical theory. I am currently working to turn my PhD thesis into an academic monograph and a trade book, and I am developing a project on cultures of olfactory dysfunction, which will study the emotional, cognitive, and social effects of olfactory impairment and augmentation.

Postdoctoral researcher in food science and technology, University of California, Davis

Postdoctoral researcher in food science and technology, University of California, Davis A dedicated and passionate researcher with over 10 years of experience in top academic institutions in India, Taiwan, and the USA. My expertise lies in Food Science and Technology, focusing on analytical chemistry, food and environmental chemistry, and fermentation technology. My research journey has predominantly revolved around unraveling the complexities of phenolic metabolomics, particularly in wine chemistry. I have diligently explored the intricacies of food matrices and environmental samples using advanced analytical techniques such as mass spectrophotometry and chromatography. I have spearheaded multifaceted research projects, showcasing my proficiency in project management and interdisciplinary collaboration. From investigating the chemistry of millet dietary fibre for food security to optimizing fermentation processes, my diverse portfolio underscores my dedication to tackling pressing global food challenges. Beyond the confines of the laboratory, I have actively mentored students and contributed to academic service initiatives, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

Andrew Waterhouse

Professor of Enology, University of California, Davis

Professor of Enology, University of California, Davis Dr. Waterhouse is well known wine chemist. His research activity focuses on the chemistry of a class of natural phytochemicals called `phenolic compounds'; addressing two types of effects: those that are important to the taste of wine and those that relate to health effects on wine consumers. In both cases, his laboratory collaborates with others who can help utilize the data and assisting in our understanding of these compounds. In the area of wine quality, his current interest is in the effect of oxidation on wine chemistry and how this oxidation affects important quality parameters of wine, such as taste and color. He has been studying micro-oxygenation and its effect on wine color and tannins, but has also been investigating the basic chemistry of wine oxidation. Dr. Waterhouse's teaching includes a wine analysis course and a wine chemistry course.
