Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science, and Energy Research - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Sabina Haber-Pohlmeier was a scientist at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry at RTWH Aachen before moving to the University of Stuttgart, with close connections to the Research Center Jülich. Having received her PhD in chemistry from University of Bielefeld in the field of dynamic light scattering in the time and frequency domains she worked as a Lise Meitner Fellow on Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) before moving to the field of NMR. Her research focuses on relaxometry, especially fast field cycling relaxometry, of fluids in porous media, spatially resolved studies in soil-plant systems, investigation of transport processes and combination of MRI with complementary non-invasive tomographic methods such as neutron imaging. During her time in Aachen she spent several research stays at institutes in the USA, New Zealand and Canada.
 
Prof. Blümich is cofounder of the series of International Conferences on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy. He was Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University and is cofounder and director of Magritek Ltd., a manufacturer of tabletop NMR spectrometers and the NMR-MOUSE. His work aims at understanding the macroscopic properties of polymer and porous materials on a microscopic and molecular scale employing novel NMR methods and instrumentation. His recent work focuses on compact NMR instruments for non-destructive materials testing such as studies of tangible cultural heritage and for high-resolution spectroscopy for chemical analysis.
 
Luisa Ciobanu is currently Research Director at NeuroSpin, CEA-Saclay. She received her doctorate in Physics from the Ohio State University and has held research appointments at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Pfizer, Inc. Her current research focuses on the development of new techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at high and ultra-high magnetic fields for the understanding of fundamental physical principles underlying biological function.

Explore the interdisciplinary applications of magnetic resonance microscopy in this one-of-a-kind resource

In Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science and Energy Research, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of the use of magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) and similar techniques in an interdisciplinary milieux. Opening with a section on hardware and methodology, the book moves on to consider developments in the field of mobile nuclear magnetic resonance.

Essential processes, including filtration, multi-phase flow and transport, and a wide range of systems – from biomarkers via single cells to plants and biofilms – are discussed next. After a fulsome treatment of MRM in the field of energy research, the editors conclude the book with a chapter extoling the virtues of a holistic treatment of theory and application in MRM.

Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science and Energy Research also includes:

• A thorough introduction to recent developments in magnetic resonance microscopy hardware and methods, including ceramic coils for MR microscopy
• Comprehensive explorations of applications in chemical engineering, including ultra-fast MR techniques to image multi-phase flow in pipes and reactors
• Practical discussions of applications in the life sciences, including MRI of single cells labelled with super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
• In-depth examinations of new applications in energy research, including spectroscopic imaging of devices for electrochemical storage

Perfect for practicing scientists from all fields, Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science and Energy Research is an ideal resource for anyone seeking a one-stop guide to magnetic resonance microscopy for engineers, life scientists, and energy researchers.
