Thanks for the replies,
my project is alternative mostly by the aim to do majority of it from an
independent lab, through funding which I would have to secure and by the fact
that I would come up with my own topic for the thesis. It is basically about
biofilm polycultures as kombucha, kefir, water kefir etc. and how to optimize
the technology to produce high quality fermented foods and beverages which would
be economically viable under small to medium business production scheme. First I
would focus on the structure of the cultures and their dynamics (I will add a
few new things here to the "scientific knowledge") using this inside/overview to
establish efficient and good quality techniques for their proliferation using
this technology to produce high quality fermented foods&beverages (here would
quite few new things which I would add), small to medium scale production. All
ending with a business model which would be tested in the real life showing that
it is viable (as a
combination of above again quite a progressive thing definitely in a field of
applied science or R&D transfer and application). If time allows (3-5 years is
not so much) I definitely want to develop a system of courses to teach it to
interested people and parties so it can spread more easily around the world -
again something what I've been doing for several years. That would make the
cycle complete, all open source as usually.
I'm doing this in a less academic manner for a while and I know it is actually
"in" and it has a great potential, it is more about finding a spot where I can
stay for 3-5 years having a base there to make it happen and having a PhD.
status when working on it from some UNI which would result in PhD. degree in the
field if things go well. It is highly likely I would do most of the work in
independent laboratories just partly collaborating with academy on parts of the
project, securing majority of the funding by myself, PhD. stipendium is
unlikely. So it is really mostly about the umbrella. Supervisors would be all
around the world :-) And yes I need another half year or so of discussion and
planning to come up with a really proper thesis proposal but I feel it is time
for me to open the discussion and start to look around more actively.

I'm not sure how "alternative" what you're talking about is. In the US, ar
least, food science is a recognized discipline. Graduates generally end up
working for commercial food conglomerates working on the newest potato chip

While you"re likely interested in much less commercial applications of the
degree, I think the core academic programs are already established.

Subject: [hackerspaces] where to do PhD hacker style - probably independent
funding needing just the stamp and official supervision
Hi to all,
I am thinking about doing a PhD. on the stuff which I do within the hacker
community for several years, my field is food&beverage biotech. I wonder if
people would know places/universities which would be friendly to the alternative
topics like these. I've a project which I'm working on and off for several years
now and I want to move it further forward considering it as a PhD project
actually, you can find rough info to get idea here
http://frantisekapfelbeck.org/doku.php?id=chihiro
Funding through the UNI would be nice but not necessary, I believe that I can
get most of the resources through crowdsourcing and another alternative ways
valuing my freedom than funds with strings. This means that long distance and
external supervisors etc. are fine with me but still I need to find place which
has the "qualification" to give me the PhD. at? the end. I'm Czech by the way so
EU should be more friendly for me and cheaper if I have to pay.
Many thanks for any info, I'll share it in the future with others who may go
similar path, it starting to be more frequent desire seems to me to get
recognition in the academic sector but use alternative base/approach and
fundings.
Sincerely from Jeju, South Korea,
Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck
PS I have master degree in genetic engineering and "on wait" master thesis in
biotech and good recommendation from both academic hacker community. The reason
for the PhD. is partly forcing myself to a more systematic approach and also
using the "possible PhD." to smoothen the ways to bring forward some of the
projects which lies ahead.

This project is focused on promotion and development of food sustainability in
local rural communities using variety of fermentation cultures and techniques.

Nick, I have a recommendation for a company a few of us in NJ are using. I'll
send it to you off list.
