PhD Opportunity: Digital Twin of Protein Extrusion for Plant-Based Meat Innovation
2 months ago
Project Overview
The Monash University and CSIRO are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join their team and contribute to the development of a digital twin for plant protein extrusion. This project aims to create a computational model that simulates the twin-screw extrusion process, enabling the optimization 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, including food engineering, nutrition science, and the social science of sensory experience.
Requirements
- Background in Mechanical/Chemical/Materials Engineering, with familiarity in 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.
Desirable Skills
- Background studies in food science and related disciplines or computer science and related disciplines.
- Foundational knowledge in protein chemistry, extrusion processing, rheological principles, and food characterisation.
What We Offer
A four-year scholarship package of $46,000 annually, a dynamic and collaborative research environment, and the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in plant protein extrusion.
