I design food systems that control where and when nutrients are delivered in the gut to regulate metabolic health. Working at the interface of food structure, digestion, and physiology, I link agricultural inputs, processing systems, and functional outcomes in the body. With 15+ years across multinational food R&D and academia, I combine commercial translation with mechanistic scientific thinking across the agrifood value chain — from crop composition and biotechnology to processing, functional food design, and metabolic signalling. By integrating cereal science, materials engineering, and nutritional physiology, I develop predictive approaches for next-generation functional foods and preventative nutrition strategies.
