Curriculum Vitae

Niklas Hackelberg is a PhD student in the group of Tobias Knopp for Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology. In addition, he works as a software engineer at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Individualized and Cell-Based Medical Engineering IMTE in Lübeck. He studied Computer Science at the Technical University of Hamburg from 2014 to 2021, where he earned his Master's degree with a thesis on "Development of a Scalable and Real-Time Capable Data Acquisition System for Magnetic Particle Imaging."

Abstract: Modern imaging modalities, such as magnetic particle imaging (MPI), are based on complex sequences which require synchronous multi-channel signal generation and reception. The component of an MPI scanner responsible for this functionality is the data acquisition (DAQ) system. Different scanner topologies and the nature of (digital) signal processing impose varying requirements on such a system. In this work, we introduce the RedPitayaDAQServer project, which implements a flexible scalable DAQ system. It is based on the low-cost hardware RedPitaya STEMlab 125-14 and is able to meet the requirements of most MPI scanner concepts that have been proposed to date.
