Dr. Lu joined the Food Science and Technology Department as Assistant Professor of Practive at UNL in Oct 2016. She is heavily involved in the "3+1" program established between UNL and Northwest A&F University in China. She received her PhD degree from the Department of Food Science and Technology under the supervision of Dr. Richard E Goodman at University of Nebraska-Lincoln in August 2016. Her doctoral research focused on the allergencity assessment of genetically engineered (GE) soybeans, the evaluation of food processing on shellfish allergens, and the cross-reactive allergy between crustacean and molluscan shellfish. She completed her Master degree in the field of Food Science at Jiangnan University, China. She held a Bachelor degree in the major of Food Quality and Safety at Jiangnan University.
