Visiting PhD student


Our group was very glad to have with us for the past four months Davide Cicolari, a PhD student from the University of Pavia. Despite the challenges due to the timing of the Covid-19 situation, Davide did a lot of important work and achieved interesting results in our lab. The whole team wishes him a successful completion of his PhD and hopes to continue collaborating together in the future.

Gallery of the COST Training school in NMR relaxometry and MR imaging, February 2019

 

The training school organized in February at our Department has been a huge success: 20 international participants, 11 lecturers, intesive courses on the theory and practice of NMR relaxometry, MR engineering, programming, and processing. This workshop could not have taken place without the support of many people and institutions, with a special thank you to all the teachers and the organizers.
