Biography

Ian Hildebrandt has experience with food safety engineering research in both academic and government laboratories. His research focus includes improving experimental designs and methodologies for estimating pathogen inactivation kinetics. He has experience working with a variety of pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria), low-moisture foods (wheat flour, oat flour, spices, almonds, pistachios) and ... meats (beef, pork, chicken, turkey). As a Research Assistant II, responsibilities include management of publicly and privately funded project, complex data analysis, writing manuscripts, and presenting research findings at conferences.
