Dr. James Carson’s findings on the behaviour of heat are the biggest research breakthroughs in this field since 1866.
By developing new models for the way heat moves through like and unlike materials (such as you might find in various parts of a machine) as well as through food, Dr. Carson has made a massive contribution to the design and safety of food manufacturing equipment and processes. Researchers worldwide use his models and guidelines and he is in demand as an expert speaker and reviewer.
As a research supervisor Dr. Carson’s work has also helped improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of photovoltaic/thermal energy collection devices and he is the named inventor on two US patents related to spray freeze drying, a new method of drying heat-sensitive foods.
