Katerina Theodoridou is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences, Queen's University Belfast, affiliated with the Institute for Global Food Security. Her research focuses on developing nutritional strategies to enhance ruminant productivity while reducing environmental impacts through bioactive compounds like tannins, algae, and insect-based feeds.
- 2016: Industry award prize winner at BSAS conference
- 2016: External Associate Researcher position at University of Saskatchewan
- 2017: Edgar Pyle Research Scholarship awarded to Mairead Campbell under her supervision
- 2022: Two awards for Joshua Thompson's research in sustainable forages and GHG journal publication
Her work employs in vitro, in situ, and in vivo methodologies alongside spectroscopy (FTIR, NIR, SRFTIRM) to analyze nutrient molecular structures and ruminal fermentation. Current projects include evaluating algae extracts, willow silvopastoral systems, and crossbreeding impacts on methane emissions.
Recent publications emphasize feed additives for methane reduction, nutrient circularity, and microbiome manipulation. Research spans ruminant species, poultry, and aquaculture, reflecting interdisciplinary collaboration.
