Tipo tesi MASTER THESIS
Descrizione This research project supervised by Prof. Marco Agostino Deriu is focused on the investigation of taste perception at the molecular level and it is inserted into an EU-funded project, called VIRTUOUS (https://virtuoush2020.com/), aimed at developing an integrated computational platform working as a virtual tongue able to predict the organoleptic profile of the Mediterranean ingredients. The basic idea behind the VIRTUOUS platform is the integration of different levels of investigation ranging from the molecular level (computational modeling, drug discovery, etc.), up to machine learning classifiers, algorithms for big data, cloud computing, and finally experimental data to predict the taste of specific foods based on their chemical composition.
For further information about the specific work proposed here, please contact via email directly Prof. Marco Deriu (marco.deriu@polito.it), inserting in CC the PhD student Lorenzo Pallante (lorenzo.pallante@polito.it).
