Timothy Langrish

Professor Timothy Langrish serves as a Professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sydney. He is recognized as a world leader in drying technology, particularly spray drying and the drying of timber. His collaborative work with Professor Fletcher on transient flow instabilities in spray dryers has led to new insights into the operation of spray dryers. Langrish's research activities span a wide range of areas including food process engineering, drying technology, energy and energy quality, solar kilns, timber drying, and spray-drying, all sharing a common goal of improving quality of life.

Professor Langrish has an extensive record of research outputs, with key publications including 'Multifilm Mass Transfer and Reaction Rate Kinetics in a Newly Developed Beaker and Stirrer Reactor' (2025), 'Energy and exergy analysis for a laboratory-scale closed-loop spray dryer' (2024), 'Energy and exergy analyses of a solar assisted milk powder spray dryer' (2024), 'Modeling Maillard reaction kinetics in spray dryers using both single-particle and CFD models' (2024), 'A Review of the Treatments to Reduce Anti-Nutritional Factors and Storage Proteins in Pulses' (2025), and 'Synthesis of CaO-Based Sorbents for CO2 Capture by a Spray Drying Process' (2013). He supervises projects such as improving flow stability in small-scale spray dryers, developing new robust spray dryer designs, and creating and testing naturally-based preservatives for breads from pulse proteins. His efforts also include advancing Australian pulses for the plant protein market by addressing anti-nutritional factors. In teaching and leadership, he was awarded the 2024 Supervisor of the Year in the Faculty of Engineering and serves as a Section Board Member for 'Food Process Engineering' in the journal Processes (MDPI). Affiliated with the Centre for Sustainable Energy Development and Food Industry Transformation, his contributions continue to impact sustainable engineering practices.
