Research in the Ciftci Lab is focused on developing novel green approaches to enhancing the health benefits and quality of the food lipids. To achieve this, we are using approaches based on nanoscale science and engineering, and supercritical fluid technology. We are also interested in the fundamentals associated with the novel process development. Our research is focused on two key areas:
- Lipid particle formation
- Green extraction of bioactive lipids
OPEN POSITIONS
Ciftci Lab is looking for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers and graduate students (Ph.D.) . If you are interested in our research, please contact Dr. Ciftci at ciftci@unl.edu.
