Curriculum Vitae

Tobias Knopp received his Diplom degree in computer science in 2007 and his PhD in 2010, both from the University of Lübeck with highest distinction. For his PHD on the tomographic imaging method Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) he was awarded with the Klee award from the DGBMT (VDE) in 2011. From 2010 until 2011 he led the MAPIT project at the University of Lübeck and published the first scientific book on MPI. In 2011 he joined Bruker Biospin to work on the first commercially available MPI system. From 2012 until 2014 he worked at Thorlabs in the field of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as a software developer. In 2014 he has been appointed as Professor for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology.

Abstract: The achievable sensitivity in Magnetic Particle Imaging is not only limited by noise, but also depends on the stability of the system. Thermal dependencies of the current carrying components lead to drive-field distortions in amplitude and phase causing drifting background signals. In this work, an active capacitor heating system is developed that allows for thermal stabilization and trimming a resonance circuit to the desired frequency.
