Dr. Lisa Duizer
PhD (Massey University), MSc (Guelph), BSc (Guelph)

A two-time graduate of the University of Guelph, Lisa earned a BASc in applied human nutrition and an MSc in food science there. She then moved to New Zealand to spend 10 years teaching at Massey University and completing a PhD in food technology.
Lisa's research interests focus primarily on sensory aspects of food, including taste and texture. Studying food texture topics such as crispness and tenderness is a passion for her, with a natural migration to focus on taste, nutrition and health.
