I am a Food Engineer working on an Australian Research Council (ARC)- Kraft Heinz Linkage project. My current focus revolves around investigating the innovative applications of non-thermal technologies (Ultrasound, pulsed electric field, and, Membrane separation ) within the broader context of both upstream and downstream processing of legumes. I works under the supervision of A/Prof. Sushil Dhital and Prof. Huanting Wang.
