Talk to me about… my research
My research interests are concerned with understanding food related behaviour and span consumer food choice (including sensory factors), nutrient/food mediated psychological functions and attitudes toward food and eating. Most recently, my interests have focussed on understanding the public perspective and consumer response to personalised nutrition. I was part of the EU Food4Me project team which employed a triangulated design to understand public perceptions and attitudes toward personalised nutrition as well as psychological response to the personalised nutrition internet–based intervention. The research results, therefore, are relevant to dietary health promotion and to the food and health industry.

Talk to me about... my research:
Maintaining health and delaying disease onset result from complex interactions between genetic makeup, behavior, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. Our multidisciplinary, international teams have been developing a more holistic approach to research summarized as systems nutrition. We use standard and emerging computational methods to integrate and analyze physiological data with measures of diet intake and physical activity while accounting for the built environment and genetic makeup.

I might qualify for the Tour de France but I would likely stop too often to take photos of scenery, competitors, and onlookers.

Just become a new father and have a sweet baby girl. I used to be a traveler and visited lots of place to see the wonder with my own eyes. But now, my most energy is dedicated to help my wife to rise the child. It is quite busy and lack of sleep, but it worth it. Because I see the most beautiful wonder just in front of my eyes every day now.
