More specifically, her doctoral research investigated consumer perspectives to intelligent packaging on food products. Understanding the relationship between product packaging and the consumer is imperative because intelligent packaging has the potential to transform the consumer experience, reduce food waste, support industry innovation, improve food safety and encourage market competitiveness.
