Thesis (m/f/d) Research & Development Mechanical Process Engineering
For the summer semester 2025 we are looking for you as a candidate (m/f/d) for a thesis in the development MPE with the topic “Use of NIR measurement (near infrared spectroscopy) for the optimization of processes for protein enrichment from legumes”
Your tasks:
- Literature research and evaluation of the state of the art in protein enrichment from legumes and the methods used to measure protein content
- Production of different samples of protein-containing fractions in the laboratory or pilot plant with targeted variation of the influencing variables on the NIR measurement (near-infrared spectroscopy) and measurement of the protein content with the existing NIR measuring device
- Comparison of the results with the measurement results of a test laboratory and modeling to correct the NIR measurement taking into account the influencing variables
- Development of proposals for the use of the NIR method for inline measurements in the process
All this appeals to you and you are interested in becoming a part of our company? Don't wait any longer and send us your application now.
