Bryony Joanne James (born 1970 or 1971)[1] is a professor of engineering who is currently based at Victoria University of Wellington.

Academic career

After a 1997 PhD titled 'The oxidation reactions of heterogeneous carbon cathodes used in the electrolytic production of aluminium' at the University of Auckland,[2] James joined the staff, rising to full professor.[3]

Much of her work involves engineering properties of food.[1][4][5] In 2017 James, Dr Gant, Associate Professor MJ Hautus and Professor EA Foegeding were awarded a Marsden Fund grant for a study titled Why do texturally complex foods lead us to eat less?.[6]

From 2020 to 2023, Bryony was Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Waikato.

In 2023, Bryony was appointed Provost at Victoria University of Wellington.[7]
