Nina Aagaard Poulsen obtained her PhD degree in conservation genetics from Department of Biological Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark in 2008. She has worked at the Department of Food Science , Aarhus University since 2009. Her research focuses on understanding factors affecting variation in composition of bovine milk especially in relation to genetic background, feeding and sustainable production and to explore how such variations affect nutritional, technological and health-related properties of milk, which ultimately can be exploited for milk differentiation. Hilton Deeth has had a long involvement with dairy research involving milk and a range of dairy products. He joined the University of Queensland in 1995 where he taught food science and technology and supervised several postgraduate students and research projects. From 1996 to 2008 he was Director of the Centre for UHT Processing at the University of Queensland. He has published over 160 research papers and 38 book chapters. He co-authored the 2017 book on “High Temperature Processing of Milk and Milk Products” and co-edited the 2018 book on “Whey Proteins. From Milk to Medicine”. He is now Emeritus Professor of Food Science at the University of Queensland and consults to the dairy industry.
