Rate My Professor Martin Yeomans

Yeomans' research specializations include appetite regulation, food preferences, food intake, satiety, flavor perception, learned preferences, and the effects of caffeine and umami on eating behavior. His work examines how olfactory cues, expectations, and metabolic signals interact to control hunger and fullness, with applications to behavioral nutrition and obesity management. Highly cited with over 12,260 citations on Google Scholar, his key publications feature 'Olfactory influences on appetite and satiety in humans' (Physiology & Behavior, 2006), 'Umami flavor enhances appetite but also increases satiety' (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2014), and contributions to 'Optimising foods for satiety' (2023) as well as the edited volume 'Flavor, Satiety and Food Intake' (2017). This body of work has informed industry practices for developing satiating foods, as noted in University of Sussex communications on addressing obesity. Yeomans supervises PhD students in the Sussex Ingestive Behaviour Group, teaches modules such as The Psychology of Appetite, and engages in knowledge exchange through collaborations like the Innovate UK-funded project with Emteq Labs on emotion-aware eating technologies. His influence extends to public outreach via podcasts and broadcasts elucidating psychological controls over eating.
