馥莉论坛是由我校馥莉食品装备工程与科学学院发起的系列学术论坛。2014年5月，由浙江馥莉慈善基金会捐资一亿元人民币，西安交通大学成立了馥莉食品装备工程与科学学院。学院的成立旨在提升中国食品制造装备、检测仪器的设计、开发和应用能力，培养具有国际视野的食品安全领军人才和卓越工程师。馥莉论坛将定期邀请国内外食品工程、机械工程、仪器科学等领域的杰出科学家为我校师生开展科学、前沿、生动的系列学术报告。

讲座名称：“馥莉”论坛—Engineering the Food Factory of the Future

讲座时间：2015-05-12 16:00

主办单位：馥莉食品装备工程与科学学院

讲座地点：西二楼3044am永利集团3044noc第三会议室

讲座人：Timothy Wei, PhD

David Jones, PhD

讲座内容：

The lecture will focus on the current state and future needs of food manufacturing and processing. Particular attention will be given to the contributions required of the engineering profession to meet the challenges to provide a safe, secure, sustainable, and plentiful food supply. Specific topics to be addressed includes; opportunities for automation and control of food manufacturing equipment; an example of using computational modeling to improve the design and manufacturing of microwavable foods; and managing the nexus of food, energy, and water requirements of food production and manufacturing. The speakers will also discuss how the College of Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is preparing to meet these grand challenges
