Discipline: Family and Consumer Sciences
I presently hold a postdoctoral researcher position in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at New Mexico State University, specializing in analyzing health-promoting bioactive compounds in fruits and vegetables.
In my Master's at Oklahoma State, I focused on polyphenol extraction from grape seeds, laying the groundwork for my Ph.D. at New Mexico State, where I studied the dynamics of nutrients in Chinese jujube at different maturity and thermal processing.
I currently work on a special wine analysis service for New Mexico wineries, and I’m focused on developing value-added products from agro-industrial wastes. My research pursuits are centered on investigating the potential health benefits of diverse phytochemicals in agro-industrial products. I am looking forward to advancing the comprehension of phytochemicals and their versatile applications across various fields.
