Bowtell directs the SPMIC and leads hardware development for biomedical imaging, including the gradient/shim and bi-planar coil systems and magnetic-shielding/field-nulling that make wearable OPM-MEG possible, alongside ultra-high-field MRI. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Glover works on magnetic-resonance hardware (RF probe and coil design, field homogeneity, magnetic-field safety) and contributes coil/field-control engineering relevant to OPM-MEG shielding and nulling. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Holmes develops the magnetic-shielding, active field-nulling and sensor-calibration technology that enables free movement during OPM-MEG, and is Chief Scientist / co-founder of Cerca Magnetics. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Koerber develops ultra-low-noise multichannel SQUID magnetometers and ultra-low-field NMR/MRI and biomagnetism instrumentation in PTB's shielded rooms. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Mellor works on magnetic-field mapping and movement-artefact correction for moving OP-MEG and on ictal/clinical OP-MEG recordings. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Sander(-Thoemmes) leads PTB's optical-magnetometry group, building multi-channel OPM-MEG systems in world-class shielded rooms and studying auditory/sensory brain responses, magnetic nanoparticles and clinical applications. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.
Schneiderman develops on-scalp MEG using high-critical-temperature SQUIDs and OPMs, aiming for higher-resolution, lower-cost biomagnetometry. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Voigt develops and benchmarks highly sensitive magnetometers (SQUID and SERF-OPM) at PTB, including standardised test benches comparing commercial OPMs to SQUID references and spin-dependent-interaction searches. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.
