Malcolm is a Physicist who has worked with food for over three decades, developing novel ultrasound/acoustic methods for food characterization and processing. Most recently, in collaboration with colleague Jianshe Chen, he has highlighted the importance of sound in the human appreciation of food. He is designer, together with Phillip Nelson, of several instruments for analysing food and its stability including the Cygnus UVM ultrasound velocity meter and the Acoustiscan scanner. He is also co-inventor of the Batcane blind aid.
He is currently Professor of Food Physics collaborating with colleagues from the Faculty of Medicine and Health on acoustic imaging; also with colleagues from Nottingham and Newcastle Universities. He has welcomed many visiting students and overseas colleagues to his laboratory.
