MRI for engineering

The “MRI for Engineering” cross-disciplinary research team aims to use nuclear magnetic resonance methods to study systems and phenomena in the field of engineering sciences. NMR is an effective tool, often complementary to the other metrologies used in the laboratory, providing access to structural and dynamic information from the molecular scale (NMR spectroscopy) to the millimetre scale (MRI imaging). With the support of the laboratory’s technical services and our collaborations, we are developing dedicated devices and methodologies to access a wide range of information, such as diffusion coefficients and concentration, velocity and temperature maps. The team’s expertise and the experimental platform’s equipment are made available to other teams in the laboratory to study fluid systems in porous media, fluids with complex rheology, flows, materials for energy, etc.
