Janice is an Associate Professor in the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen and the first MW residing in Denmark. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on multisensory flavour perception and eating behaviour, aiming to understand why people make the food choices they do and to promote behaviour change for healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.

Janice holds a DPhil in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford, a M.S. in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT, and a B.S. in Computer Science from Caltech. She is passionate about bridging the gap between research and industry, aiming to conduct more widespread and impactful wine research as a MW. One of her proudest wine moments is leading Oxford to victory against Cambridge in the varsity blind tasting competition (twice).

Janice became an MW in 2025, and received the Madame Bollinger medal for excellence in tasting, the Taransaud Tonnelier award for excellence in the production and handling of wine paper, and the Quinta do Noval award for the best Research Paper.
