PhD Studentship: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

4 months ago


Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom University of Southampton Full time

Supervisory Team: Prof Ilya Kuprov, Dr Marina Carravetta

Project description: The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging are quantum technologies that use spin – a property of elementary particles that gives them magnetic moments. Strong magnetic fields do not harm chemical systems or biological tissues, they are therefore widely used in chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine.

Quantum mechanics sets fundamental limits on how quickly and precisely magnetic processes can run; this matters in MRI where the time a patient spends inside the magnet must be minimised. Modern equipment performs far below those limits, and the objective of this project is to design magnetic resonance methods that achieve the best performance permitted by the fundamental constraints of quantum theory.

This project will develop skills and expertise in supercomputing, artificial intelligence, digital modelling, quantum technologies, nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging.

If you are interested, please contact the supervisor for more information: Ilya Kuprov
