Joanna G Rothwell

Joanna Rothwell is a PhD candidate in Professor Dee Carter's lab at the University of Sydney as part of the ARC Training Centre for Food Safety in the Fresh Produce Industry. Her current project involves investigating the efficacy of current and novel post-harvest chemical treatments in fresh produce processing. The goal of her project is to lessen food waste and to reduce the survival of food borne pathogens in fresh food. Currently, Jo is investigating the application of cold atmospheric plasma activated water to fresh produce processing which is an up-and-coming technology with lower health and environmental impacts compared to existing sanitisers. Prior to this, Jo completed her Bachelor of Science with an Honours project testing a novel anti-fungal drug against invasive mould species.
