Teaching & educational leadership
Developing food scientists and engineers who can connect scientific understanding with practice.
Learning through application
Dr. Anubhav Pratap-Singh’s teaching connects food processing fundamentals with product development, laboratory investigation and real-world problem solving. His approach includes active learning, flipped classroom activities, industry guest contributions and experiential projects.
Selected teaching
- FNH 303: food product development.
- FNH 309: food processing and product–process interactions.
- FOOD 524: advanced food processing.
- FNH 300: principles of food engineering (previous teaching).
- Graduate and undergraduate research supervision: theses, dissertations, seminars and applied research projects.
Education beyond the classroom
PackLead
Dr. Pratap-Singh leads the NSERC CREATE Packaging Leaders Training Program. Announced in 2025, the program supports multidisciplinary technical and professional training for careers in the packaging sector.
Professional learning
Contributions to food science education include professional learning and microcredentials in food safety management, food product development and food product management, alongside collaboration with BCIT.
Experiential & international learning
Activities include industry-facing student projects and participation in the UBC–ITESM summer program in food commodity processing. Laboratory and pilot-scale environments help students connect theory with practice.
Academic leadership
Service includes UBC Senate and committee work, curriculum development, graduate mentoring and contributions to food processing teaching facilities.
Research training
Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, visiting scholars and undergraduate trainees contribute across FPEL’s research areas. Meet the team and alumni or explore student opportunities.
