Overview
Education
- Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Meat Science and Muscle Biology
- Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) , Animal Science
Research/Extension Interests
My research interests focus on understanding the fundamental biochemical mechanisms that govern the transformation of muscle into meat. This includes skeletal muscle growth and efficiency, postmortem energy metabolism, and the development of meat quality attributes. A particular emphasis is placed on calpain activation and function, and how these processes influence beef tenderness.
