Mohammad Azizkhani is studying in the Master’s Programme in Food Sciences and specializes in food safety. He thinks that the food safety research and industry have a bright future.
“We’re going towards more sustainable food production that is less harmful to the environment and also to humans. At the moment, many people are doing research in how to increase microbial safety of food using natural preservatives and other natural approaches”.
Azizkhani is very grateful for the support and guidance that he has received regarding his studies and research.
“I can sit down with the professors and discuss the things that are going through my head. Everything here is really flexible; for example, I wanted to start my thesis, even though I hadn’t passed all that many courses, and that was okay!”
