Research Scientist: Plant-Based Meat Innovation through Digital Twin Technology
2 months ago
The Monash University and CSIRO collaboration invites applications for a PhD research position in the field of food science and engineering. The successful candidate will work on developing a digital twin of the protein extrusion process to optimize plant-based meat alternatives.
Project Overview:
The project aims to create a computational model of the twin-screw extrusion process, focusing on plant proteins to produce meat-like fibrous textures. This digital twin will be a valuable tool for the industry, enabling the optimization of extrusion conditions and enhancing product quality attributes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop computational models for concentrated plant protein extrusion
- Conduct experimental studies at laboratory and pilot-scale for model validation
- Investigate the influence of ingredient physico-chemical properties, extrusion operating parameters, and screw configurations on the rheological behaviour of food material throughout extrusion
Requirements:
- Background in Mechanical/Chemical/Materials Engineering or related field
- Familiarity with CAD or computational fluid dynamic modelling
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills for experimental design, data interpretation, and problem-solving
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently and as part of a team
How to Apply:
Please visit the Monash University website for application details and requirements.
