About Atharv Kurhade
As a Master’s student in Food Science at Chapman University, I am passionate about the science behind what we eat and how we experience it. My academic and research journey rooted in food technology and sensory evaluation has fueled my interest in developing innovative, high-quality food products that meet both consumer expectations and industry standards.With hands-on experience in sensory testing, product formulation, and quality analysis, I’ve worked on projects ranging from analyzing coffee origin and processing impacts on sensory attributes to investigating food fraud in global tea markets. I’m particularly interested in how sensory insights and consumer perception can drive product development and market success.My goal is to contribute to the creation of food products that are not only technically sound but also sensorially delightful and consumer-centric. I aspire to work in roles that combine R&D, sensory science, and product innovation, and I’m eager to collaborate with teams that value science, creativity, and sustainability in food.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about shaping the future of food through innovation and sensory science.
