Food Scientist | Fermentation, shelf-life, RSM, food formulation, statistical analysis & scientific research

Profile Summary

I am a Food Scientist and Fermentation Engineer with extensive experience in food product development, fermentation processes, shelf-life evaluation, experimental design, statistical analysis, and scientific research. My work integrates laboratory experimentation with data-driven decision-making to develop innovative and sustainable food solutions. My research focuses on food fermentation, predictive shelf-life studies, response surface methodology (RSM), design of experiments (DOE), food formulation, bio-based materials, and the valorization of agro-industrial by-products. I have experience designing, conducting, and analyzing experiments using advanced statistical methods to optimize processes and improve product quality. I have supervised undergraduate and graduate research projects and have collaborated on multidisciplinary research involving food chemistry, microbiology, and process optimization. My experience also includes scientific writing, manuscript preparation, peer-review support, data interpretation, and the development of publication-ready figures and statistical reports. I provide consulting services for academic institutions, research groups, and the food industry in areas including experimental design, statistical analysis, fermentation process optimization, shelf-life assessment, food formulation, and scientific publication support. I am committed to delivering accurate, reproducible, and practical solutions tailored to each client's research and development needs.
