Job description:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a characterization/investigation method that provides exquisite information about the chemical composition of a sample.

NMR is closely related to another method that is more widely known due to the fact that it is broadly used in hospitals for clinical investigation in humans - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Both methods share the same physical principles and similar challenges.

One of the fundamental components of solid state NMR equipment is the probe that holds and spins the sample at speeds beyond 1 kHz through pneumatic actuation.

The probe has to be designed and manufactured in such a way that it should be able to (i) precisely set the angular position of the sample inside the equipment, and (ii) actuate it at the desired rotational speed with a variation of no more than 1 Hz.

These ambitious design goals need to be tested after the manufacturing of the probe using 3D printing technology.

These are tasks that require good mechanical and electrical engineering background to address challenges such as implementing an angular positioning mechanism to yield 0.1° and accurately measuring the rotational speed down to 0.1 Hz.

Are you enthusiastic about microelectronics and automation? Are you ready to challenge yourself to build and test such a robust probe that can be used in future NMR equipment? If the answer is "yes", we are looking for you

The specific tasks within the project will be: (i) designing mechanical components for the probe head; (ii) fabrication of the individual components with 3D printing; (iii) establishing a test setup involving electrical signal acquisition and processing devices to measure the rotational speed.

During the Master thesis, you will acquire hands-on experience on mechanical and electronics design as well as 3D printing. In addition, you will have opportunities to get exposure to a wide range of instruments and techniques.

You will be integrated in the larger team of the Spin & Photon Applications (SPA-) Laboratory.

Within this project, you will use the infrastructure existent at the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT), i.e., microfabrication facilities, RF testing equipment, and multiple state of the art NMR scanners.

This is a complete project, offering the possibility to fabricate and test the devices, giving you the opportunity to co-author conference and/or journal publications.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

Company:

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society.

With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organization.

The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry.

To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields:
Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research.

Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners - working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.

Promoting young academics

Helmholtz scientists, a high-performance infrastructure and modern and efficient research management are the ingredients to the Helmholtz Association's success and global impact.

Promoting young researchers is a major priority for the Helmholtz Association. Its qualification schemes for young researchers are geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs and young managers. The Helmholtz Association has set high standards for its talent management. Its strategy begins with targeted recruitment of highly qualified staff at
