Research: Food Informatics

In food industry proper knowledge management is crucial for innovation of processes and products. Internal and external R&D organisations supply knowledge, but sharing and using research output is not quite optimized yet. Moreover, usually the link between general knowledge and specific, day-to-day experience is lacking. My research objective is to advance (re)use of research output and lessons-learned and to enhance the effectiveness of experimental (food) research. Topics are e-science, development and application of ontologies (Semantic Web technology) and data and model management. My main location is at Wageningen UR. We have close collaboration with TI Food and Nutrition.
