Summary
I am a Food Science graduate with a strong interest in the molecular mechanisms of plant-based systems. During my MSc research, I developed hands-on expertise in chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, enzyme assays, and statistical tools such as Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to analyze and optimize food processes. I am particularly passionate about bridging analytical chemistry with practical applications, where fundamental insights can drive innovation and improve real-world products. This motivates my enthusiasm for studying pectin formation and enzyme activity in tomatoes at Wageningen University & Research. I look forward to applying my technical skills, curiosity, and collaborative mindset to advance both scientific knowledge and industrial solutions.
