About

Nicole Martin is an Assistant Research Professor in Dairy Foods Microbiology and the Director of the Milk Quality Improvement Program (MQIP) in the Department of Food Science at Cornell University. She also serves as the Director of the Cornell Dairy Foods Center (CDFC). Nicole grew up in the Southern Tier of New York State, where she developed a lifelong interest in dairy farming through work on a local dairy farm. She earned her BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Food Science from Cornell University, with minors in microbiology and animal science.
