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: 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.
