Welcome to the Zhou’s Research Group


This research group is how to use advanced food science and technologies to enhance the food nutrition, safety, and quality, and to create the next-generation foods for our community. We am expecting that our lab can make significant contributions to this field.

Open positions

Our research group at the Department of Food Science & Technology, University of Georgia is actively seeking motivated graduate students for both M.S. and Ph.D. programs. Selected students can anticipate receiving a research assistantship, along with specialized training and hands-on experience in the development of sustainable, nutritional, and affordable next-generation foods. A general background and interest in food science or related fields such as Chemistry, Biology, or Physics are essential for prospective candidates. For further information and application inquiries, please directly contact Hualu Zhou via an email (hualuzhou@uga.edu).
