I have a PhD in Biology with a specialization in Environmental Stress Physiology and Biochemistry, MSc in Horticulture (Plant Physiology), BSc (Hons) in Agriculture, ASc in General Agriculture. Post-doctoral Fellowship was in Environmental Stress Lipidomics and Neurolipidomics. My research approach and programs are very multidisciplinary and involves collaborations with other scientists or end users in government (Regional, Provincial and Federal), industry, and academia in the areas of agriculture, food science, analytical chemistry, biostatistics, neuroscience and nutritional biochemistry; to assess the roles of lipids in agriculture production, food and human health outcomes. Analytical expertise: (pressurize solvent extraction, mass spectrometry, chromatography and vibrational spectroscopy) Research Inte​​rests Functional foods production, sensory perception, development, safety and preservation Use of nanotechnology to enhance plant performance in Boreal Ecosystem Spatial, functional and compositional lipid metabolism in response to environmental stressors Influences of gut microbiome on brain lipid metabolism and brain health Chemometrics and Lipid modeling Increase yield, nutritional and value added production in control systems agriculture and alternative forage production systems Hydroponics: (sprouted fodder, herbs and vegetable production)
