Primary fields of research

• Development and application of high-throughput quantitative spectroscopy (NIR and NMR) for biological samples in quality control, process analytical technology, foodomics and metabolomics
• Development and application of chemometric methods for exploring and analysing spectroscopic data
• Carbohydrate structure, dynamics, hydration and functionality as studied by spectroscopy and molecular modelling

Teaching

• Basic Food Science Course
• Quantitative BioSpectroscopy

Short presentation

Since 2001 I have been the head of the Spectroscopy & Chemometrics research group - now approximately 40 persons. The section’s key competences are in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques and advanced chemometrics applied to industrial and academic research for food and health. The Spectroscopy & Chemometrics group is a dynamic and creative team with involvement in a wide range of inter-disciplinary applications.
