The objective of the Doctoral Student hired by the Institute for Biomedical Engineering is to advance magnetic resonance technology and methods towards the study of granular systems made up of arbitrarily shaped and soft particles. This will include work on principles of particle tracking and imaging, creation of new methods, implementation on magnetic resonance equipment, all the way to  experimental exploration and use in granular systems. 

The collaborative effort with the partner Doctoral Student will particularly target the fabrication of tailored and soft particles, applied studies in granular systems science, and the creation of experimental setups to this end.
