Senior🎓
Top SchoolXingchen Liu is a Senior Scientist with a PhD in Plant Sciences and 14 years of cross-functional experience translating academic food-safety research into commercial R&D impact across food and consumer goods. At PepsiCo he led analytical innovation and a cross-functional quality framework that cut testing cycle time 30% and unlocked over $2M in annual savings, while mentoring teams to boost lab throughput and standardize workflows. His academic work—USDA-, FDA- and NSF-supported projects and four peer-reviewed papers—reflects deep expertise in microbial risk assessment and lab management across multi-institution consortia. He pairs technical rigor in analytical chemistry and method development with product-focused troubleshooting, having bridged PD, QA, supply chain, and regulatory stakeholders to accelerate launches. Bilingual in English and Mandarin and based between New York and Shenzhen/HK markets, he seeks roles where he can scale digitization, streamline operations, and build inclusive, high-performing teams. A less obvious strength is his proven ability to convert grant-funded, interdisciplinary science into pragmatic, measurable business outcomes.
