About me:
After receiving my undergraduate degree in Public Health in 2014 I spent 3 years working in health promotion (both corporate and non-profit) and more recently 4 years in clinical research. I have always been fascinated about the role of food in how our bodies operate at a biochemical level. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in the NSC Graduate Program to further my knowledge of research in this area.

Graduate Associate | School of Nutritional Sciences and Wellness

About Me
I have a BSc degree in nutritional sciences and an MSc in clinical nutrition. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in nutritional sciences so that I can gain more in-depth knowledge and have the opportunity to make original contributions to my field of interest. I have always been driven by an inner voice to bring research findings into daily life; hence, I am more fascinated by applied research. Particularly, I am curious about the interplay between nutrition and human physiology (e.g., metabolic syndrome).

About Me
I am from Taiwan. After obtaining my bachelor’s and master’s degree in food science from National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, I worked for food companies for three years. In my master’s research, I investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of functional food. It was relevant to improving disease prevention in the human body, and I was drawn into this area. I also enjoy doing research and learning new knowledge, which led me to pursue my PhD in nutritional sciences.
