PhD scholarship in non-contact assessment of food quality using optical imaging methods at Technical University of Denmark

DTU Fotonik seeks a qualified candidate for a vacant PhD position. Candidates are invited to apply following the online procedure below.

Project description
The aim of the research project is to relate relevant food quality characteristics to optical properties of the food material. In particular, utilizing multiple scattering effects to quantify parameters such as scatterer size, orientation, and density distributions. In this project, different methodologies will be investigated. One method is based on extracting optical properties from diffuse reflectance profiles relating the optical properties to the physical properties of the sample. Another method is based on optical coherence microscopy from which optical properties can also be extracted. The methods should be analysed, compared and applied to specially developed food samples. The main challenge will be to establish a relation between the measured optical properties and the physical properties of sample(s) thereby allowing simple, fast, and non-contact analysis of food products.

The Ph.D.-project is part of the newly formed Center for Imaging Food Quality (CIFQ) funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council.
Detailed project description.

Qualifications
Candidates should have a Master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree at an equivalent academic level.

The successful candidate should have documented a theoretical as well as experimental background in optics and photonics. Experience within biophotonics would be preferred, for example optical coherence tomography or optical coherence microscopy.

Approval and Enrolment
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do...
