Springer Handbook of Odor

Andrea Buettner completed her doctoral and post-doctoral research in food chemistry at the Germany Research Centre for Food Chemistry (DFA) and at the Technical University of Munich from 1995-2002. Following her habilitation to qualify for full professorship in 2007, she was appointed and still holds two concurrent positions: founder and head of the Department of Sensory Analytics at the Fraunhofer Institue for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV  in Freising, Germany, and head of the Physiological and Psychological Effects of Odorants group at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Most recently Andrea  was awarded the Kurt-Täufel Prize for young scientists from the Food Chemistry Division of the German Chemistry Society (2010), the Young Investigator Award from the Food and Agricultural Division of the American Chemical Society (2011), the Danone Innovation Prize (together with Caroline Siefarth, 2012) and the Nutricia Science Award (2013). Since 2012 Andrea Buettner holds the position as full professor of Aroma Research at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

“This book should be in all libraries of laboratories operating in the field of odors, since it is addressed not only to specialists who would like to extend their knowledge to other aspects of the science of odor but also to PhD students at the beginning of their research studies who have to enter this field as well as to those who need to tackle specific topics.” (Carlo Bicchi, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, August, 2017)
