My research expertise lies in the physico-chemical characterization and structural investigation of food and biomass biomacromolecule based-systems including starch, gelatine, non-starch cell wall polysaccharides, carrageenan, and milk protein; in both liquid or gel states. I am particularly interested in the development of Synchrotron Small Angle X-ray Scattering and Neutron Scattering methods to probe the multiscale structures of food and biomass biopolymers from sub-nanometers to several microns in their static state or under stresses in situ (e.g. high pressure, high temperature, shear. etc).
