Biography

Dr. Jinghua Yu is a Professor of the college of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology. Prof Yu completed Bachelor Degree in Food science and technology from Northeast Agricultural University in 1989. After that he continued his study in Food science and technology and received his master degree in 1992 and joined Northeast Agricultural University for the following 3 years as assistant professor. Prof. Yu began with working for Heilongjiang Dairy Industry Technical Development Center (become National Research Center for Dairy Engineering and Technology from August,1999), who responsible for management of dairy research institute and new product development in 1995. From 2001 to 2009, he as a manager worked successively at Beijing SanYuan Food co.,Ltd, R&D center and Beijing pasture R&D company. In 2006, he received PhD degree in Food science from China Agricultural University. Since 2009, Prof Yu is employed by Tianjin University of Science and Technology as a professor that has been engaging in research of dairy science and technology.
