I am senior lecturer in food science in the school of Applied Sciences. I joined LSBU in 2009 having previously worked at University of Lincoln and before studying at Strathclyde University. I teach applied science and chemistry in the baking courses.

I have supervised several Ph.D students and I am a member of the accreditation panel for the Institute of Food Science and Technology and I am external examiner at 2 UK Institutions (University of Lincoln and Nottingham Trent University)

I am also Course lead for the Cert. HE, Dip. HE and BSc (Hons) Baking Science and Technology.
