Kees (C ) de Graaf is a professor in Sensory Science and Eating Behavior at the Division of Human Nutrition of Wageningen University, the Netherlands. He is BSc/MSc-training was on human nutrition and consumer science. In 1988 he defended his PhD-thesis entitled, Psychophysical studies of mixtures of tastants. 
De Graaf has published about 200 papers in scientific journals, mostly on psycho-biological determinants of eating behaviour. The research and teaching activities focus on the meaning of sensory signals, such as taste, odor, texture, for eating behaviour and the regulation of food intake. His attention focuses on different groups of people (children, elderly, normal weight – overweight people), the effects of properties of food on choice and intake while using modern techniques of measurement (e.g. MRI; behavioural observation techniques) 
The research lines of his chair group focuses on three main research areas 1) food structure- food oral processing – dynamic sensory perception and preference, 2) the impact of sensory and metabolic signals on eating behavior, and 3) the peripheral physiology and neurobiology of reward and satiety
