Work History
Effect of Goat Breed on Carcass Yield and Meat Quality
The University of Queensland
01.2022
- Conducted a series of measurements including pH, fat content, ash content, and colour profiling on meat derived from different goat breeds.
Optimizing and Industrializing Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Production
The University of Queensland
10.2021 - 05.2023
- Utilized NIR and MIR spectroscopy methods to analyze the changes in the chemical composition of the black soldier fly larvae production process. Improved the harvest rate of larvae quality, particularly proteins and lipids, thereby establishing optimal feed selection
Effect of Freezing on Shelf-Life Stability of Different Goat Muscles
The University of Queensland
02.2022 - 10.2022
- Undertook comprehensive pH calibration and Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measurements to assess the impact of freezing on the shelf-life stability of various goat muscles
- Executed standardized methodologies to ascertain cooking loss and lamb tissue toughness in muscle samples.
Enhancing Bioactive Feed Through Straw Degradation
Sicuan Normal University
10.2016 - 03.2018
- Spearheaded the screening and isolation of microorganisms, including yeast, Bacillus subtilis, and lactic acid bacteria, for straw degradation to prepare bioactive feed
- Executed strain identification, DNA extraction, and phylogenetic construction to develop an evolutionary tree for selected strains
- Engineered and benchmarked bacterial consortia for their cellulose to hemicellulose conversion efficiency
- Optimized consortium composition through rigorous experimentation and data analysis, improving straw degradation processes.
