Dr Caroline Millman PhD

Senior Lecturer

Summary

I am a senior lecturer in food science at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, joining in 2017. I am also the course leader for the BSc (Hons) Food Industry Technical Professional Degree Apprenticeship course. I am also the ‘Healthier Lives’ research theme lead for the National Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering (NCEFE)

I have over 20 years’ experience in food safety in the food industry before turning to research in 2008 at the University of Manchester. My main research interests include consumer attitudes and behaviours towards food safety, novel methods to elicit risk perceptions, ingredient and process integrity and improvements to nutrition of plant based products.

About

I am a senior lecturer and researcher with over 20 years’ experience in the food industry, working mainly in technical for retailers, consultancy groups and manufacturers.

In 2008, I decided to utilise my food industry knowledge in a PhD, investigating foodborne illness in the domestic setting at the University of Manchester and Bangor University. The work programme was an ESRC studentship, awarded as part of “Reducing E. coli O157 Risk in Rural Communities” funded under the UK Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Councils’ Rural Economy and Land Use Programme (RELU).

In 2012, I joined the Enigma team as a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Associate at the University of Manchester working on the Environmental & Social Ecology of Human Infectious Diseases Initiative (ESEI) project "Sources, seasonality, transmission and control: Campylobacter and human behaviour in a changing environment".

I am now a senior lecturer at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, taking on the role of Course Leader for the BSc (Hons) Food Industry Technical Professional Degree Apprenticeship course.

I continue to pursue research interests as the research theme lead for ‘Healthier Lives’ for the National Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering (NCEFE), combining my personal interests with those of the university.

I have always been passionate about trying to encourage people to enter the food industry and as a result am a registered STEM ambassador and maintain www.foodbugclub.net for school teachers as well as taking part in promoting the work of the food industry through education and outreach.

I am a Fellow of the Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
