Guillaume DELAPLACE serves as an INRAE Research Director and Laboratory Director of CERTIA at the Materials and Transformations Unit (UMET, CNRS UMR 8207), a joint research entity with the University of Lille. Based at the INRAE PIHM Building (RB2) and UMET's Scientific City (Building C6) in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France, he leads critical work in dairy processing hygiene and fouling mitigation. His position as a senior researcher in France's national agricultural research institute places him at the forefront of food engineering innovation. Research Interests focus on food-surface interfaces in agro-industries , particularly dairy thermal equipment. He investigates protein denaturation kinetics, mineral fraction impacts on fouling, and dimensional analysis of transfer phenomena. His team pioneers biomimetic anti-fouling coatings and ultrasound sensors for real-time clean-in-place monitoring , bridging molecular-scale protein behavior with industrial-scale process optimization. Publication Trends (2020-2024) reveal concentrated efforts in dairy fouling mechanisms, with increasing emphasis on enzymatic cross-linking of casein/whey proteins and calcium-mineral interactions. His work spans predictive modeling, sensor development, and anti-fouling surface engineering, consistently targeting industrial applications in UHT plants and ready-to-drink beverage systems. Over 80% of recent output addresses protein aggregation and deposit management through experimental-numerical approaches. Scientific Awards : No awards, fellowships, or medals were documented in the provided text. Advising and Grants : DELAPLACE has supervised 13 PhD completions and currently mentors 5 doctoral candidates. His projects include PROTEINOLAB (LabCom joint innovation partnership) and participation in ANR/ERC/Interreg initiatives. Collaborations span France (Ingredia Dairy Experts), Brazil (Paulo Peres de Sa Peixoto Jr.), and international networks like LIA, with students transitioning to R&D roles in industry. Labs and Teams : He anchors the Process Interfaces and Materials Hygiene Research team at UMET, specializing in food-surface interactions, transfer phenomena, and mixing dynamics. The group develops fouling prediction tools and anti-adhesion surfaces using plasma deposition and ultrasound, directly addressing dairy industry challenges in heat exchangers and cleaning systems.
