Research Interests

  • Design Thinking for Sustainable Innovation

    Applying human-centred, problem-framing and rapid-prototyping approaches to develop practical, industry-aligned solutions for sustainable future.

  • Biotransformation & Biocatalysis

    Leveraging microbial, enzymatic, and catalytic pathways to modify raw materials for generating high-value functional ingredients.

  • Functional Foods & Health-Directed Formulation

    Designing food products enriched with nutritional or bioactive benefits, guided by scientific evidence, regulatory requirements, and consumer insights.

  • Side-stream Valorization & Circular Food Systems

    Transforming agro-industrial by-products (e.g., okara, barley spent grain) into value-added ingredients or materials through engineering, processing, and functional characterization.
