Dr. Achmon spent three years at Professor Christopher Simmon&#8217;s lab at the University of California at Davis as a postdoctoral researcher. There he had developed an interdisciplinary approach to industrial food waste valorization research which included collaborating with a plant scientist and a microbiologist among others. After his time at the University of California at Davis he had done a short postdoctoral at Volacni Israeli agricultural center, working on the microbiome of fresh cow milk. He then continued to a lecturer position at the GTIIT along with a research position at Ka Yin Leung\u2019s group working on the microbial resistome.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5042\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Research Interests<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5042\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5042\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><ul><li>Food sustainability<\/li><li>Food microbiomes<\/li><li>Food volatomes<\/li><li>Food spoilage<\/li><li>Advanced food shelf-life simulation<\/li><li>Soil biosolarization<\/li><li>High solid anaerobic digestion<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5043\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Representative Publications<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5043\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5043\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Liang Y, Li Yilin, Lin Yu, Liu X, Zou Y, Yu P, Zeng Y, Wang X, Wang Y, Van Horne C, <strong>Achmon Y *<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jclepro.2022.131886\">Assessment of using solid residues of fish for treating soil by the biosolarization technique as an alternative to soil fumigation<\/a>.
