Guess what (I didn’t win, but yay)! Absolutely enjoying the thrill of submitting a grant application 35 mins before the award ceremony (knowing well that I need 5 mins for makeup and potentially 30 mins for tram). Tomorrow back to a full day of teaching #lovingacademialife 🎢

Not Darth Vader, but a 3D printed attachment to dispense food smell (odour) caplets. We are trying a few prototypes to understand ways to efficiently “dispense” odour within VR. Adapted and built by my awesome science project students: Aidan Beard, Geordie Hore & Grace (PhD).

Great project and supervisory team! 🙌

When conference organisers messed up your talk title, you roll with it 😅

Smell therapy bottles at uni for students by the students association. What a great way - I am snagging a bottle too 🥰 (I need a calm bottle for rejection news - which apparently Chanel no5 is pretty good at) 😅 #unilifeweek12

Extremely honoured to win the 1st prize at the recent Australian Space Research Conference. I presented about our research which my students (Grace, Hirdesh, Alicia), the Food in Space team (Computing), Ian and Jack (RMIT STEM Centre for Digital Innovation) did most of the hard work. Let’s keep this going!

We are inviting anyone working in a sensory lab to share their opinions by filling out a survey on sustainable lab practices. I know.. it's the end of year (and it's another survey) - but this will provide a landscape of sensory lab practices globally rmit.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3P…

I am very happy to share that I will be a ‘Senior Lecturer’ next year! 🎉 It’s been a challenging but exciting 2.5 years at RMIT, to find my research direction and to build my own team from scratch. Thank you to my team, mentors, collaborators for giving me that lift and support.

Thrilled to be co-presenting with Dr Julia Low to share a Growing Digital Experience STEM LTshowcase tomorrow! Join us to celebrate the success of digital innovative learning. 🚀 #STEMLTShowcase ▶️bit.ly/STEMLTQ2023

We are hiring! The Bayes Business School Marketing group is looking for a young consumer researcher. Nice people only. Please circulate 😊 jobs.ac.uk/job/DFP688/lec…

Please RT! We are hiring postdoctoral fellows to lead a sub-project in our recently awarded European Research Council (ERC) Synergy grant (D2Smell) with the overall aim to digitalize smell. ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

I am beyond proud to share our current opinion paper and to co-author a paper on the topic of 'Recreating Digital Context' for sensory science with some of my friends, whose work I have admired for a long time Dr Emer Garvey Dr Kaja Antlej Qian Janice Wang 📄sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New research from UoNSensory! I'm still surprised that all the participants in the study were willing to taste a normal dairy yogurt that was labelled as 'precision fermented'. Qian Yang UoNBiosciences ifst.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ij…

Scientists from RMIT University have led a world-first study on common food aromas that may help explain why astronauts 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 report meals taste bland in space and struggle to eat their normal nutritional intake. 🔗rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/…

Confined and isolating environments changed the way people smelled and responded emotionally to certain food aromas. New research from RMIT found the experience of a confined environment, evoked more intense perceptions of food aromas. rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/…

Check out our latest paper (and my passion project) by my PhD student, Grace Loke! The key point is that understanding the environment of space and how it impacts on us psychologically is important for Earth, in terms of wellbeing.

🚀Hot off the press - we found that confinement may affect how we feel about food. Pilot at this stage, but we have been seeing a consistent pattern suggesting that VR was effective in simulating a spacelike environment. Check out our latest paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.food…
