Dr. Filiz Koksel is Associate Professor of Food Processing, Food and Human Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, University of Manitoba (Canada). She is a food scientist with expertise in food processing and non-destructive assessments of food quality. Her research program aims to tackle issues related to an ever-increasing demand for sustainable high quality plant-based foods at the interface between food processing and materials science. To bring Canadian crops from the field to our tables, Dr. Koksel’s program looks at several unit process operations involved - such as milling, mixing, baking, texturization and extrusion - in transforming these crops into foods with superb palatability and nutritional value.
