Title
Understanding protein supramolecular structures in gels and emulsions.
Research area and project description
Research area: Food processing – technology – physics of foods
Research area and project description: Current markets require novel food ingredients from sustainable food sources. Designing formulations with plant-based ingredients requires an in depth understanding of their structure, but also of the interactions occurring with other molecules and their dynamics during processing. To be successful in understanding the principles behind food material design, we then need to apply the most advanced colloidal science and soft matter techniques and embrace the complexity of these raw materials. This project will focus on proteins structure-function, but using complex model systems, such as emulsions, foams and gels. The studies will be conducted at various length scales, from molecular, to supramolecular and bulk using methods such as scattering, microscopy and rheology.
Qualification and specific compentences: Applicants to the PhD position must have a relevant Master's or Bachelor's degree. Laboratory experience with advanced techniques would be considered a plus.
Applicant should have a very good level of English for communication and writing.
Applicant should have a research background in chemistry, biology or food science with a preference for physical chemistry of foods.
