Klaas Smilde

Klaas Smilde serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Food Science (Design and Consumer Behavior section) and holds a postdoctoral position in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (Section for Environmental Chemistry and Physics) at the University of Copenhagen. His dual appointments bridge food science and environmental research, with institutional email addresses at both University of Copenhagen (smilde@plen.ku.dk) and University of Amsterdam (A.K.Smilde@uva.nl).

His research centers on advanced chemometric methodologies applied to complex biological systems, particularly metabolomics and lipoprotein analysis. Key interests include multiway data modeling, sparse PCA interpretation, longitudinal study design, and integration of mechanistic models with high-dimensional datasets. This work spans food science applications, environmental chemistry, and human health investigations.

Recent publications (2020-2025) reveal consistent methodological innovation in data analysis for metabolomics and environmental screening. Dominant themes include development of robust protocols for lipoprotein profiling using NMR and ultracentrifugation, application of multiway models to postprandial dynamics, and novel approaches to non-target screening in environmental samples. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration across food science, plant sciences, and medical research domains.
