PhD直招介绍
About the Project
This project is part of a Graduate Teaching Assistantship scheme, in which the successful applicant will undertake certain teaching duties associated with the student experience, in addition to working towards a PhD qualification. They will contribute up to 180 hours of support for research or teaching related activity per academic year. This activity forms part of the scholarship and there is no additional payment.
PhD Research Topic
This collaborative PhD project between Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield Children’s Hospital aims to develop AI-driven personalised dietary interventions for children with taste and smell dysfunctions caused by cancer treatments, obesity, or eating disorders such as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). These conditions significantly impact food intake, nutrition, and quality of life, yet existing interventions often fail to account for individual chemosensory variability.
To address this, the project integrates electronic nose (E-Nose) and electronic tongue (E-Tongue) technologies with machine learning (ML) algorithms to generate precision dietary recommendations. Research will be conducted at The Advanced Food Innovation Centre (AFIC) at Sheffield Hallam University for flavour and aroma profiling and at Sheffield Children’s Hospital for clinical validation.
Methodology
Baseline aroma and taste profiling through chemosensory testing and genetic analysis in healthy children.
Advanced flavour and aroma analysis using E-Nose and E-Tongue technologies.
Development of an AI-driven framework integrating chemosensory data, genetics, and eating behaviours.
Validation across paediatric patient groups to assess impact on nutrition and food acceptance.
Supervisory Team
This project is supported by an interdisciplinary team:
Dr. Hongwei Zhang (Director of Studies, Sheffield Hallam University) – Expertise in AI and ML with a focus on their applications in food systems.
Dr. Jordan Beaumont (Sheffield Hallam University) – Specialist in nutrition interventions, eating behaviours, and obesity management.
Dr. Eishaan Bhargava (Sheffield Children's Hospital) – Consultant Paediatric ENT Surgeon, providing clinical insights into chemosensory disorders and paediatric healthcare.
Impact
By combining AI, chemosensory science, and paediatric healthcare, this research will enhance dietary adherence, optimise nutrition, and improve health outcomes. The collaboration ensures a multidisciplinary approach, bridging food science, AI-driven healthcare innovations, and clinical applications to transform paediatric nutrition.
