Research

The work is organized in 4 scientific WPs:

  1. WP1 combines theory and software developments and MD simulations to extend the fundamental theoretical understanding of NMR relaxation, in particular for paramagnetic relaxation enhancements in the presence of zero-field splitting and different motional regimes, for relaxation in complex systems where water molecules are confined in different compartments, and for ionic liquids.

  2. WP2 includes experiments for modeling and validation, comprising data collection and analysis, in order to test the theoretical models developed, and instrumental advances.

  3. WP3 supervises the tasks related to biological materials and medical applications, such as novel nanosized paramagnetic complexes used as safe and efficient theranostics agents, improved MRI contrast agents, characterization of the relaxation properties of biological tissues to improve MRI and FCI diagnosis or production of FFC-specific phantoms.

  4. WP4 supervises the tasks related to the study of dynamics in rigid partially crystalline materials and in ionic liquids, including the characterization and modelling, in the light of their use as electrolytes for energy storage devices.
