PhD Opportunity in Plant-Based Meat Innovation
5 hours ago
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at Monash University and CSIRO in a collaborative project focused on developing a digital twin of the twin-screw extrusion process for plant-based meat innovation.
Research ObjectivesThe project aims to develop a computational 3D model of the extrusion process, focusing on plant proteins to form animal meat-like fibrous textures. This digital twin will be a vital tool for the industry, enabling the optimisation of extrusion conditions and enhancing product quality attributes.
Key Responsibilities- Investigate the influence of ingredient physico-chemical properties, extrusion operating parameters, and screw configurations on the rheological behaviour of food material throughout extrusion.
- Develop computational models for concentrated plant protein extrusion and conduct experimental studies at laboratory and pilot-scale for model validation.
- Collaborate with researchers from different disciplines, such as food engineering, nutrition science, and the social science of sensory experience.
Essential skills for this project include a background in Mechanical/Chemical/Materials Engineering, with familiarity in CAD or computational fluid dynamic modelling. Analytical and critical thinking skills are necessary for experimental design, data interpretation, and problem-solving. Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are also required.
Desirable SkillsBackground studies in food science and related disciplines or computer science and related disciplines are desirable. Foundational knowledge in protein chemistry, extrusion processing, rheological principles, and food characterisation will be an advantage for the project.
