I am the Global Sensory Manager from China, responsible for the Chinese market. My educational background is in Materials Science and Engineering. Prior to my role at FlavorActiV, I served as a raw material inspector in breweries and beverage companies, and also functioned as a trainer for a duration of four years. Since joining FlavorActiV in 2014, I have conducted numerous sensory training courses. My passion for sensory evaluation has led me to achieve the WSET Level 2 Wine Certification and undertake a Brewing course at Dumens Asia. Furthermore, in 2023, I successfully obtained the WSET Level 2 Spirit Certification. Outside of work, I have a penchant for travelling, and aspire to explore the globe with my children.

What's a common myth or misconception about sensory science you'd love to bust?

Sensory evaluation is just tasting some basic flavors, or that one person with strong tasting ability can represent everyone's opinion, this is not true.

I wish I had the superpower of teleportation, because I love drinking beer and exploring beers from all around the world. If I could teleport, I would be able to travel to different places every day to enjoy beer.
