Summary

My aim in academic teaching is to facilitate student learning. Adapts to students' needs to deliver top-quality lectures and seminars. Leads and supervises in-depth research projects on nutrition and cancer research, especially in cancer survivorship.


The research area that I am interested in is cancer and nutrition research, specifically in people who survived cancer. A cancer diagnosis is considered a teachable moment that encourages cancer survivors to change their diet. According to recent studies, people after a cancer diagnosis are motivated to change their dietary behaviour to improve their health outcomes. Therefore, it is important to look at what kind of dietary pattern changes that people made after a cancer diagnosis to guide them to meet dietary recommendations for cancer survivorship.
