My research program consists of work in two areas: Thermal Processing and the study of Moving Boundary Problems. Mathematical modeling and the determination of physical and thermal properties is used in each of these areas to develop a better understanding of the fundamental transport mechanisms which control the processes of interest. My program seeks to utilize the natural diversity of food science by incorporating other aspects, such as chemistry and microbiology, into food engineering research.
