Brett B.C. Wedding

Brett B.C. Wedding is a researcher at James Cook University specializing in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) applications across agricultural and environmental sciences. His work focuses on non-invasive assessment of fruit quality (e.g., avocados) and age determination of marine species like sharks. He holds a PhD in Agricultural Science from James Cook University (2018).

Education:

• PhD in Agricultural Science, James Cook University (2018)

Research Interests:

Wedding's research spans agricultural technology, food science, and marine biology. He develops NIRS methodologies for postharvest quality analysis, bruise detection in avocados, and estimating age in sharks. His work emphasizes non-destructive testing, predictive modeling, and spectroscopic tools for industry and conservation applications.

Article Trends:

His publications highlight interdisciplinary applications of NIRS. Early work (2008–2010) focused on sandalwood oil analysis, transitioning to avocado quality (2011–2019) and marine species (2014–2016). Recent work (2023) explores provenance tracking in fisheries, reflecting broader environmental and food security interests.

Advising & Grants:

No formal advisees are listed, but his collaborative projects with institutions like SABRAO and ICNIRS suggest involvement in grant-funded research. Work involves partnerships in agriculture, marine science, and spectroscopic innovation.

Labs/Teams:

Associated with James Cook University's research groups in food science and marine biology. Collaborates with industry stakeholders in avocado and sandalwood industries.
