Sherry Stephanie Chan

I am a researcher in processing technology based in Stavanger. My work focuses on enhancing product quality, extend shelf life, improving resource efficiency and sustainability across the food value chain. I hold a joint Master’s degree in Aquatic Food Production from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). I earned my PhD at NTNU in 2021 with the thesis titled “Chilling of Atlantic salmon in refrigerated seawater”, which compared superchilling salmon in refrigerated seawater with the traditional method on ice throughout the value chain. In 2022, I joined Nofima as a postdoc, focusing on sustainable food packaging. My research interest includes slaughter at sea, food packaging and valorization of rest raw materials.
