Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.
Dr Matthew Wilson is a senior lecturer with a diverse research background in food quality and preservation, horticulture, new crop development, plant physiology and sustainability. He has over 10 years of experience exploring the intersection between the environmental conditions influencing primary production and the resulting influences on food chemistry and sensory perception. This has led to an acute understanding of the factors determining food quality, as measured by microbiological, instrumental and human based means, including a PhD programme on commercialising the native Australian plant species, Tasmannia lanceolata.
As an education specialist, Matt teaches into the Food and Nutrition Science program and is part of the Haide College teaching team. He teaches and assists with the development and delivery of several undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including Sensory Evaluation of Foods III, Food Chemistry III, Innovations in Food Processing, Sensory and Flavour Science and Advances in Food and Nutrition.
