Michael Beyrer is a full professor at the University of Applied Sciences (UAS) of Western Switzerland where he heads the group “Food and Natural Products”. He received his ME (Dipl.-Ing.) in food technology in 1991 from the Humboldt-University Berlin (Germany) and PhD in 2007 from the Technical University Berlin (Germany).
His research interests are in the field of food process engineering and food physics. Cross-disciplinary R&D is key of many projects, with a specific orientation toward systems engineering. Current research focuses on technologies for manufacturing of plant-based food; functionalization of dairy proteins by combined thermal, mechanical, and electric effects; decontamination of powder with cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and vacuum-steam-vacuum processing; and techniques for measuring flavour release kinetics.
