Bio
Dr. Schilling is a Professor of meat science, sensory science, and food chemistry at Mississippi State University (MSU) in the Department of Food Science, Nutrition, and Health Promotion. Since coming to Mississippi State University, he has developed 5 courses that focus on hands-on experiences and real-world examples that he has experienced through interaction with food companies. Real-world examples are related to topics taught through food chemistry, instrumental analysis, and sensory testing principles. His research focuses on sensory science, meat processing (poultry, beef, pork, and catfish), meat quality, flavor chemistry, proteomics, and statistical methods with the goal of meeting the needs of the food industry and training students to use science to help food companies make business decisions.
