Project Details
UNNC MRI Research Centre Introduction: The University of Nottingham has long been at the center of developments in Magnetic Resonance techniques across the world, and MRI has always been and will still be a research priority across the University of Nottingham. In 1991, SPMIC was established at the University of Nottingham in UK to house the University’s expanding MRI Group, following Sir Peter Mansfield’s pioneering work in the early 1970s. Sir Peter Mansfield shared the Nobel Prize for his contributions in the development of MRI in 2003. The outstanding contributions of SPMIC were recognized in 2001 through the award to the University of Nottingham of a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher Education. Now, the outstanding MRI research and education in SPMIC have been extended to our China campus – UNNC. The proposed MRI Research Centre in UNNC, led by Dr. Chengbo Wang (UNNC), develops and applies magnetic resonance techniques in a broad range of areas, including researches on both hardware and software of MRI techniques.
This PhD project will be co-supervised by Dr. Chengbo Wang, Prof. Thomas Meersmann and Dr. Jing Wang and will stay in UK for a period.
