Research Interests:

• Generation of time-variable gradient pulses for NMR spectroscopy, tomography, and microscopy (since 1981). The problems to solve include:
  • Spectrometer pulse control.
  • Gradient sources.
  • Measurement of pulsed magnetic fields.
  • Development of the MULTIFID method and the NMR method of the instantaneous frequency with the selective excitation for the gradient magnetic field measurement.

• Control circuits for decoupling in spectroscopy and for amplitude and phase modulation of RF pulses for tomography have been designed.

• Experimental work for tomography. Using 80 MHz and 200 MHz spectrometers I tested the following methods:
  • Utilization of selective RF excitation pulses.
  • Spin echo and its symmetrical transformation.
  • Excitation of phase modulated RF pulses by pseudo-random noise.
  • Application of gradient fields.
  • Dynamic behaviour of pulsed magnetic fields.
  • NMR tomography (microscopy) including localization techniques.
  • Water suppression methods in the proton NMR spectroscopy.
  • 31P and 1H decoupling with adiabatic pulses.
