Tchuenbou-Magaia, Fideline Laure - University of Wolverhampton

个人简介

Dr Fideline Tchuenbou-Magaia is a senior lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the University of Wolverhampton, where she is also Outreach & marketing lead for Chemical Engineering since August 2016. Prior to this time, she was a Research Fellow at the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, where she carried out different projects mainly in the areas of encapsulation and formulation engineering for application in foods, cosmetics, agrochemicals and energy, whilst also involved in teaching, including Encapsulation and Molecular Delivery, Food Manufacture & Technology, Enhancement of Chemical Engineering Teaching Labs and worked as Staff-Student Liaison and Outreach Officer. Fideline’s diverse backgrounds and exposure to different cultures, working and teaching styles enable a multifaceted approach to research and teaching. She has been involved in a broad range of consultancy works for multinational and national companies such as Nestle, PepsiCo, Philips Oral Care and Pangaea Agrochemicals. Having worked at the academic-industrial interface for many years, studied Biochemistry, Food science/processing and Engineering before settling on Chemical Engineering, she is fascinated about using a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving and to serve a broad range of industries, especially foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Fideline initially graduated as a biochemist with a BSc in 1999 and a Master degree in Biochemistry with major in Nutrition and Food Technology in 2001 at the University of Douala Cameroon. This Master was completed while working as a Quality Control Assistant at Camlait (Cameroon market leader in dairy products) where she joined in 1998 just before completing her BSc. She then occupied various roles within the company working in Production and Marketing department before Joining the Laboratory of Food Science and Metabolism (University of Yaoundé) as a Research Associate where she liaised CamLait and the University and worked towards understanding consumers drive for soy milk based products and contributed to the improvement of nutritional and sensorial quality of these products. In 2003 she undertook a three- year joint degree in Food science/processing and engineering at AGROPARITECH (former ENSIA-SIARC, France). During that time, she worked for CIRAD (France) where, as part of a £4 million DURAS project (Promoting Sustainable Development in Agricultural Research Systems), she optimised the malting processes and identified millet and sorghum species which generated malts that meet specifications for either beer or nutritious weaning food production. Fideline then decided to take a PhD at the interface of biochemical and chemical engineering at the University of Birmingham in 2008. Her PhD was funded by BBSRC and aimed at reducing fat content and risk of obesity while maintaining eating pleasure using microbubbles. This involved fermentation and extraction of hydrophobin protein from submerged fungi culture by foam fractionation, combining liquid-liquid and gas-liquid system to develop a novel air filled triphasic emulsion based products and their characterisation in terms of microstructure, rheological and tribological behaviour, physical and oxidation stability. Fideline joined the Micromanipulation Research Group at the School of Chemical Engineering in 2011 as a Research Associate to carry out a feasibility study on the use of whitening-agent-loaded micro-carriers for possible application to tooth whitening for Philips Oral healthcare just before completing her PhD in 2012. Fideline at the University of Wolverhampton pursues her research in formulation and particles engineering and works closely with industrials to help transforming lives. She also devotes part of her time to the development of inspirational tools and activities to be marketed to both primary and secondary schools as a lesson resource and to excite pupils about science and Chemical Engineering.
