Food and Biomaterials Engineering
Dr. Kang Huang’s Research Group

Welcome to Dr. Huang’s Group

Our current research is in the field of Food and Biomaterials Engineering, particularly addressing critical challenges at the food-microbe-material interface within food and agricultural systems.

Our work is carried out at the Department of Biological Systems Engineering, Washington State University. For more details of the work we do, please visit the News and Research pages, and our resulting Publications.

We are continuously seeking passionate undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and visiting scholars to join our Team. You can find current Opportunities in the group.

We maintain a list of available equipment in our lab. If you are interested in collaboration or require access to specific instruments, please visit the Lab Equipment page for details.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments, or visit us in Pullman, WA.
