Shane Crowley

Biography

Dr. Shane Crowley is the Lecturer in Food Processing at UCC. He graduated from UCC with a BSc in Food Science in 2012 and a PhD in Food Science and Technology in 2016. Shane was the recipient of a Fulbright award in 2013, which enabled him to work in the USA as a Visiting Scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from July 2014 to July 2015. After completing his PhD, Shane took up a postdoctoral position in the Food Ingredients Research Group at UCC, where he investigated the stability of clinical nutrition beverages to thermal processing. Shane holds postgraduate degrees in Teaching and Learning (2018, Cert.) and Philosophy (2020, HDip.). Shane teaches a range of material to food science students at UCC and has recently devoted significant time to the creation of multimedia content and interactive experiences for remote learning.

Teaching Activities

Teaching Interests

Shane contributes to the teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate students at UCC. He has lectured to students enrolled in undergraduate courses in Food Science, Nutritional Sciences and Food Marketing and Entrepreneurship. The modules span areas including food physico-chemistry, process technology and food philosophy. The current modules in which Shane teaches are (as of 2018): FS1005 - Food Technology, Culture and Ethics; FS2006 - Food Process Design and Optimisation; FS3006 - Food Processing and Preservation - FS3007: Dairy Product Technology; FS3610 - Food Analysis and Processing; FS4022 - Topics in Food Science; FS6103 - Novel Processing Technologies and Ingredients; FS6106 - Advanced Topics in Dairy Biochemistry. Shane currently coordinates FS1005, FS2006 and FS3610 in the BSc Food Science at UCC. Shane has contributed multiple lectures on Scientific Writing to new research students as part of the STEPS programme at UCC. In both 2017 and 2018 Shane contributed guest lectures in Lipid Chemistry and Technology in Beijing Technology and Business University. In addition, Shane routinely supervises both individual and team final year projects as part of the BSc Food Science. Shane is actively engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning, with a particular interest in exploring methods to integrate philosophical and socio-cultural aspects of food and diet with a food science curriculum.
