Yuanxiao Ze, a second-year Ph.D. student at Wageningen University & Research, currently working on developing risk-based methods for food safety inspection frequencies. She received master’s degree in food security from the University of Edinburgh and a bachelor’s in food safety and quality. Yuanxiao’s research focuses on identifying factors that affect food safety risks in food business operations. In the upcoming presentation, she will highlight key findings from a systematic review that examines various risk factors and underscores the need for further research and standardization in the field.

My name is Shamika Cudjoe, born and raised in the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago that lies in the Caribbean Sea. I have always had a passion for science and hence my academic life would have eventually led to research in the field of science and engineering. During that lifetime, I would have attained a BSc. in Physics (Honors) and then I went on to the engineering field, where I completed the MSc. in Environmental Engineering followed by the MPhil in Civil Engineering at UWI. I went on to work as the Operations Manager at the Water and Wastewater Utility of Trinidad and Tobago, where a problem within my field was realized. As such, I explored the problem with the University, to bring resolve to this issue my country faced. It is this topic I would discuss.

I also enjoy teaching where I currently conduct training for wastewater process plant operations, under the National Training Agency for Caricom States (CANTA). In the past I would have tutored and demonstrated labs at the Physics Department at UWI and taught Physics and Mathematics at a renowned High School. My hobbies include fitness and showing dogs.
