赵艳云教授

是什么最初吸引你进入你的研究领域?

My Ph.D. dissertation research on advanced food packaging technologies originally led me to the world of packaging. However, learning about the possibilities of edible packaging truly inspired me to work in the field. 经过了长达二十年的研究, my scope of study has been significantly expanded beyond just edible packaging to other sustainable solutions that reduce packaging’s impact on the environment and provide convenience and health benefits to consumers.

是什么让你在职业生涯的这个阶段保持动力?

The imperative needs and enormous opportunities to improve today’s packaging system motivate me to continuously innovate in sustainable packaging with new discoveries. 我在澳门威尼斯人娱乐场期间得到了很多支持, 我也有动力投入更多的时间和精力去指导别人, 支持和发展各级教师和学生.

What’s the one big takeaway you’d want someone to know about your field of study?

We can do better to protect our environment and ecosystem by replacing plastic packaging with more sustainable solutions. 可食用包装不仅导致零包装浪费, 但它也可以为食品和消费者带来额外的好处. 食品和农业生物废弃物可以用来制造可食用的, 可生物降解和/或可堆肥的包装. 最重要的是, OSU’s technological innovations can play a role in promoting a more sustainable future.

你从工作中学到了什么让你惊讶的东西?

The potential to turn trash into treasure — converting the biowaste and byproducts generated from food manufacturing and agricultural production into high-value products. While my lab has developed a series of technologies to convert cellulose fiber-based biowaste into functional food ingredients and packaging materials, more needs to be done to reach zero waste — not only to reduce the environmental impact but also to provide economic benefits to the food and agriculture industry.

“杰出教授”这个头衔对你来说意味着什么?

获得杰出教授的称号,我深感荣幸. 我为自己的成就和经历得到认可而感到自豪. 我非常感谢你的指导, support and collaboration I have received and for the contributions from each past and current lab team member to my career. The title also imparts a stronger sense of responsibility in making a positive impact in my academic career and beyond.

只是为了好玩的问题:

你什么时候到澳门威尼斯人娱乐场的? 从哪里?

I arrived at OSU from Iowa State University in 1996 following my partner’s employment in Corvallis, 首先是个人合同, then as an assistant professor (senior research) at OSU’s Food Innovation Center. I left OSU for a tenure-track faculty position at the University of Connecticut in 1999. In the summer of 2001, I returned to OSU as an associate professor and food product specialist.

你在校园里最喜欢去哪里吃饭?

西区餐饮中心. 我喜欢那里充满活力的环境和食物选择.

你的爱好是什么?

读书、远足和做中国菜.

如果你可以去世界上任何一个地方旅行,你会去哪里?

意大利的罗马和澳大利亚的悉尼. 我喜欢古代和现代建筑.

If you hadn’t gone into academia, what do you think you would have done instead?

做一名临床研究医师.

Emily Ho

是什么最初吸引你进入你的研究领域?

作为圭尔夫大学的一名本科生, 我参加了一个暑期实验室奖学金. There, I learned that oxidative stress and antioxidant balance had a big impact on health. 这项工作使我进入了营养学领域, 在那里我开始研究食物中化合物的健康特性.

是什么让你在职业生涯的这个阶段保持动力?

首先,在营养学上还有亟待解决的问题. In some respects, nutrition science is a lot like exploring an undiscovered country. Also, 我担心的是错误信息的数量, 尤其是在营养和健康方面. We need to do a better job of educating people about the work we do — inspiring future leaders in our students, 以不同的方式分享科学是非常有益的.

What’s the one big takeaway you’d want someone to know about your field of study?

我们每天都在发现新事物. 这常常使人们感到困惑, because one day you hear about a scientific discovery about the food you eat, and it could get contradicted the next day — but that’s just the nature of an evolving scientific field. That’s also why it’s so important to find a source of nutrition information you can trust.

你从工作中学到了什么让你惊讶的东西?

I think one of the most amazing things is how powerful eating the right foods can be. The evidence we have right now shows that the development of certain cancers is driven by poor food choices and poor nutrition — almost as much as smoking. If that doesn’t speak to the power of good nutrition, I don’t know what does.

“杰出教授”这个头衔对你来说意味着什么?

To me, becoming a Distinguished Professor is more than just a recognition of our scholarly achievements — it is a vote of confidence from 澳门威尼斯人娱乐场 of the impact we can have on Oregon, 国家和世界. 我非常荣幸能加入我心目中的英雄的行列, especially the many faculty in the Linus Pauling Institute who have also been given this honor.

只是为了好玩的问题:

你什么时候到澳门威尼斯人娱乐场的? 从哪里?

I arrived at 澳门威尼斯人娱乐场 in 2003, coming from the University of California, Berkeley. 在那里,我和Dr. 布鲁斯·艾姆斯,他是营养学和最佳健康领域的巨人. 在那之前,我在澳门威尼斯人娱乐场和. 泰米布雷. The Linus Pauling Institute and 公共卫生与人文科学学院 under Dr. 布雷的领导是我来到澳门威尼斯人娱乐场的一些重要原因.

你在校园里最喜欢去哪里吃饭?

我有几个! 我喜欢美味的沙拉,所以我经常去那里.我可以在咖啡厅点我想要的沙拉. I also love the grain bowls offered at West Dining Hall (I collaborated with UHDS when I was Moore Family Center director). However, there’s a really nice café on the first floor of the Linus Pauling Science Center called Ava’s Café, 我喜欢时不时跳下去喝杯茶吃个三明治.

你的爱好是什么?

我喜欢活跃. I teach cardio kickboxing classes at 澳门威尼斯人娱乐场 in the Faculty Staff Fitness program for fun. 我和我的孩子们也是大吃货.

如果你可以去世界上任何一个地方旅行,你会去哪里?

每当我旅行时,我喜欢体验当地的食物. 世界上有很多文化我都想去体验. 我有一长串清单. 但如果你今天问我, I would love to go to Italy with my family and get the full Italian food experience with them.

If you hadn’t gone into academia, what do you think you would have done instead?

Before I got hooked on nutrition and health, I originally thought I was going to be a veterinarian. 我真的很喜欢动物. 我的“第三个孩子”是杨先生. B(又名布鲁诺),一只救援犬.
