He pursued a Ph.D. in Physical-Analytical Chemistry on a part-time basis at Temple University and received the degree in 1985. By then, he had been transferred to what is now the Dairy & Functional Foods Research Unit. He was on the team that developed a low-fat Mozzarella cheese that has been used in the National School Lunch Program for 20 years and is currently researching milk from cows fed conventionally and on pasture, and analyzing storage properties of whey powder used as emergency aid food. He is Secretary and Past Chair of the Division of Agricultural & Food Chemistry of the American Chemical Society and was named an ACS Fellow in 2011.
