am a food scientist with over 25 years of experience in academia, research, agriculture, and the food industry. My research focuses on novel post-harvest techniques to reduce mycotoxins and food-borne pathogen contamination and enhancing food safety. I primarily focus on three areas: non-destructive detection methods (such as terahertz imaging), non-invasive identification and quantification techniques (such as E-nose technology), and environmentally friendly decontamination methods (such as ozonation).
