Engineering (food quality) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 16 Engineering (food quality) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Decarbonisation of the Food System

As the world transitions to a low carbon economic system, dramatic changes will be required across the all sectors. The food system, which is currently estimated to be responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is one where particular urgency is required. Read more

PhD Studentship in Molecular Simulations of Food Biotribology

Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Molecular Simulations of Food Biotribology, leading to the award of a PhD degree.  The post is supported by a bursary and fees (at the UK student rate) provided by the Mechanical Engineering Department, and it is open to ‘home’ students. Read more

Developing a Systematic Food Texture Characterisation Methodology for Advanced Manufacturing

Food texture is related to the way our senses perceive and feel the rheological and mechanical properties of edible substances. For example, a potato chip is crispy; an apple is crunchy; butter is soft; bread is firm; candy is hard; yogurt is smooth; cream is thick; cake is moist, and honey is sticky. Read more

Enhanced spectroscopy-based in-situ environmental monitoring: development of novel materials and machine learning techniques

Self funded 3.5 year PhD in Engineering. Project Summary. Water and soil health has been jeopardized globally by various types of contaminants, posing significant threats to the biodiversity and food security. Read more

In-line process monitoring for microalgae cultivation

Phototrophic microorganisms that convert carbon dioxide are being explored for their capacity to solve different environmental issues and produce bioactive compounds for human therapeutics and as food additives. Read more

AI-Enhanced Self-Updating Digital Twin for Optimised Spray Drying in Dairy Manufacturing

The Postgraduate Research Programme MedAgriTech AI eXcellence (MATX) offers 12 PhD research scholarships to commence in 2024. Each project will include an enterprise placement of minimum 12 weeks duration. Read more

Developing a Mechanistic Understanding of Roller Compaction Process

Granulation is a process of size enlargement of the powder particles. It is used in different sectors such as pharmaceutical and food industries to improve the properties of the powder and hence the final product. Read more

Investigating the effect of plastics recycling on nanoplastic production in packaging applications

Nanoplastics, defined as plastic particles measuring less than 1000 nanometres, have emerged as a significant concern due to their ability to infiltrate ecosystems, posing potential risks to the environment. Read more

Identification and characterisation of liquids using ultrasound and machine learning

This project involves further development of an analytical system for identifying and characterising liquids based on the formation of liquid drops and employing interferometric ultrasound methods to investigate them. Read more

Characterisation of High Shear Mixers for process Intensification

High shear mixers such as rotor-stators, ultrasonicators, and high-pressure jets, are used for dispersion processes during the manufacture of numerous high-value products. Read more
