- Process Analytical Technology (PAT) - spectral and spatial PAT tools .
- Biorefinery and Bioprocessing

Patents Granted:
- Method of improving cheese quality. US Patent number 7880881.
- Light beam from an incident light source impinges onto a surface of the milk batch, and light backscatter is optically detected during a coagulation process and correlated to an optimum cutting time for the milk coagulum. US Patent number 7892584.
