Activities

Research theme

Assistant professor since 2022, I mainly teach sensory science to engineering student in food sciences as well as to students in the P2FOOD (physiological and psychological FOOD choice determinants) international Master’s program. I am responsible for a sensory evaluation module in the 1st year of the engineering cycle and co-leader of the 3rd year Sens&Co (Sensory Evaluation and Company) specialization.
My research focuses on the relationship between food, oral physiology and perception, and more specifically on the perception of aromas and texture. For example, I worked on:

  • The relationship between aroma release and perception using PTR-MS and DTS and/or T-CATA simultaneously
  • Interindividual variability in aroma release with and without mastication
  • Mouth comfort in elderly
  • Fat perception as a function of tongue topography…
Key words

Perception, texture, aroma, oral physiology, food oral processing, oral comfort
