Current courses

Research

The Chen Lab focuses on the use of nonthermal (high pressure processing, pulsed light, and ultraviolet light) and thermal processing technologies to improve microbial food safety. Recently we have been focusing our efforts on developing and identifying appropriate processing technologies to decontaminate fresh produce, sprouting seeds and low moisture foods. The foodborne pathogens we have been working with include Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, human norovirus, and hepatitis A virus.
