My major research interest is focused on the promotion of sustainable diets and food systems drawing on my research experiences within the fields of public health nutrition, sensory and consumer science. I have recently been working on developing novel strategies to inprove the meal experience for people with smell loss and for elderly people. I have an interest in reducing food waste and have investigated the consumer potential for using upcycled ingredients in canteen meals (FoodRus). I am currently working on the EU project HealthFerm investigating the consumer perception and acceptance of plant-based innovative fermented foods and meals, hoping to promote a green dietary transition in Europe.
Research Areas
- Public Health and health promotion
- Consumer behaviour (especially children and elderly)
- Sensory Science (the trigeminal sense, the sense of smell)
- Sensory perception and appetite regulating effects of bioactive components
- Food waste
Methods
- Interventions (in local communities)
- Health campaigns (e.g. mass media campaigns)
- The Supersetting approach
- Surveys
- ”Mixed method” evaluation (e.g. action research, controlled intervention design, interviews, focus groups)
- Sensory testing (Time-intensity, Profiling, Odour test kits)
- Meal studies to measure acceptance energy intake and appetite
Teaching
I am Head of Studies for the Food Innovation and Health Master Programme. I teach at the following courses.
- Meal Systems and Technology (MSc, 7.5 ECTS)
- Food and Meal Consumer Reseach (MSc, 7.5 ECTS)
- Determinants of Food Consumption (MSc, 7.5 ECTS)
- Supervision within Food Innovation, Public Health, Sensory and Consumer Science (BSc theses, MSc theses, and projects outside of scope).
