Based at Dr. David Jeffery (A/P) wine chemistry lab at the Department of Wine and Food Science, The University of Adelaide, I have been working on a series topics around the potent volatile sulfur compounds in wine. (PhD Thesis: Polyfunctional thiols in wine: Chirality, precursor stereochemistry, winemaking impacts, and fate.)

From a background in Food Science/Nutrition (B. Eng.) and Flavour Chemistry (M. Eng.), I have been applying chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry (HS–SPME, SPE, GC–MS, HPLC–MS/MS), fermentation techniques, and sensory evaluation to investigate the chirality, precursor stereochemistry, and winemaking/viticulture impacts on polyfunctional thiols.

More information on the project and obtained results can be seen on the Publications page.
