Research Interests

My research on tomographic imaging is primarily focused on magnetic particle imaging. In this context, I am engaged in the study of a number of problems, including:

  • Image reconstruction
    • Multi-contrast imaging
    • Multi-patch imaging
    • Artifact reduction
  • Magnetic field generation and characterisation
  • Receive path calibration

Curriculum Vitae

Martin Möddel is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Tobias Knopp for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology. He received his PhD in physics from the Universität Siegen in 2014 on the topic of characterizing quantum correlations: the genuine multiparticle negativity as entanglement monotone. Prior to his PhD, he studied physics at the Universität Leipzig between 2005 and 2011, where he received his Diplom On the costratified Hilbert space structure of a lattice gauge model with semi-simple gauge group.

Abstract: A major issue for human-sized Magnetic Particle Imaging scanners is the generation of sufficiently large magnetic gradient fields. By taking advantage of the field amplification properties of soft-iron, a considerable amount of power can be saved. In this work, an optimized selection and focus field generator is presented, that can generate flexible and high gradient fields at comparatively low power consumption. Coil spacing and possible field-free-point positions are similar to conventional MPI scanners designed with air coils, but with significantly less demands on infrastructure and cooling design. The optimization process is discussed and first field measurements are presented.
