Biographical details

I am a nutritionist designing practical poultry diets to meet global challenges in food security, sustainability and environmental change. Current Australian weekly chicken-meat consumption equals the total annual meat consumption for China in 1961, the year my mother was born. I am passionate to find solutions for efficient and sustainable poultry production in different production systems. I was awarded the Celestino Baiada Post-doctoral Fellowship just two years into my PhD study at the University of Sydney. Since then, I have been working closely with scientists from the USA, Europe, China, South Africa and South East Asia to develop nutritional strategies for sustainable and resilient poultry production. I amthe recipient of 2019 Australia Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award and 2015 Australian Science and Innovation Award for Young People in Agriculture.

Research interests

My current research interests include reduced protein diets, digestive dynamics of nutrients, exoegnous enzyme applictaion, feed grain quality in broiler and layer nutrition.
