Audrey Cosson

Researcher in food science and sensory analysis

About

Dr. Audrey Cosson is a food science and sensory analysis researcher at the Lyfe Institute Research Center. With a PhD in Food Engineering (Université Paris‑Saclay, 2021), she studies the interactions between food perception and eating behaviors, including the impact of pathophysiological factors such as morning sickness. She develops participatory and co‑creation approaches to design foods adapted to specific needs, combining questionnaires, interviews, and sensory testing. Her work contributes to the promotion of healthy, sustainable, and enjoyable foods.

Role in research projects

  • 2023 – 2028 – Principal investigator of the PreVoPercep project (Pregnancy‑induced vomiting: exploring women's experience of perception and eating behavior), funded by the ANR – Young Researchers .
  • 2022 – 2026 – Co‑leader of the Co‑Party‑Senior project (Multi‑stakeholder design and co‑creation of healthy and sustainable food products for seniors), funded by the ANR – Science with and for Society .
  • 2022 – 2027 – Visiting researcher in the JACK project – Legumes from farm to plate, aimed at developing and evaluating legume‑based recipes and menus in catering funded by ANR France 2030 .
  • 2022 – 2025 – Visiting researcher in the Legu+ project , focusing on increasing legume consumption in catering by improving the sensory experience and adapting portions, funded by the Olga Triballat Institute and the Louis Bonduelle Foundation .
  • 2021 – 2025 – Co‑leader of the AgeEat project (Multi‑criteria and multi‑actor approach to design food adapted to young seniors), funded by ANRT – CIFRE .
  • 2017 – 2021 – PhD student on the CIFRE thesis entitled Pea protein‑based foods for the future: from chemical composition to statistical models to understand the mechanisms of sensory perceptions , funded by ANRT and Roquette Frère .
