Food Science × Cross-Disciplinary Translation × Commercial Execution

Connecting food science with commercial execution. Built on food science, market observation, product logic, and application scenarios, I translate technical feasibility into clearer product direction and business judgment.

About Me

WHO I AM

My work starts with one question: how can a good food idea truly become reality?

That question takes me across product concepts, technical translation, sensory logic, and market research. The dairy industry has given me a solid technical foundation, but what truly interests me is the full path from insight to application, wherever category boundaries may sit.

Master of Food Science from the University of Melbourne, with a Bachelor's in Food Science and Engineering as well as Economics from Hunan Agricultural University. Working bilingually in English and Mandarin, I move between R&D and commercial contexts, translating laboratory language into a voice the market can understand.
