Dr. Nurul Hawa Ahmad has completed a postdoctoral training on modeling growth and survival kinetics of foodborne pathogens in meat and egg products. She was supervised by DR. Lihan Huang. Dr. Nurul Hawa was funded by USDA via the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) fellowship. Throughout the postdoctoral training, Dr. Hawa has published four articles as listed below:
