Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences
Researcher biography
Dr Jiahua Shi got her PhD in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore in 2015, followed by three years postdoc training at NTU Food Technology Centre, Singapore, as well as APEC Centre for Sustainable Development in Agriculture & Fishery Sectors, Singapore. She also worked four years at School of Environmental Engineering and School of Medicine at University of Wollongong before joining UQ.
As a FaBA Senior Research Fellow and Future Research Leader, Dr Shi's research at UQ focuses on premium food and beverge products aligning with the Trailblazer of Australia's Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA). With a background in analytical chemistry and microbiology, Dr Shi's food research aims at microbial conversion of food waste (e.g. ugly fruits and waste veges) into high value food ingredients through fermentation technology. Since 2015, Dr Shi has attracted 6 research grants (>1.2 million) as chief investigator (lead CI and/or co-CI). She has been working closely with local and international food industry partners and government agencies, as well as multiple international research institutes in China, Singapore and Denmark.
