  Bryony Joanne James (born 1970 or 1971) is a professor of engineering who is currently based at the University of Waikato.
  
  ## 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, James joined the staff, rising to full professor.
  
  Much of her work involves engineering properties of food. 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?.
  
  In 2020, Bryony was appointed Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Waikato.
