INDIGO Innovative Electromagnetic Induction Methods for Industry and Healthcare

• Applicant: Professor Dr.-Ing. Dirk Rüter
• Subject Area: Measurement Systems ; Electronic Semiconductors, Components and Circuits, Integrated Systems, Sensor Technology, Theoretical Electrical Engineering ; Materials in Sintering Processes and Generative Manufacturing Processes ; Medical Physics, Biomedical Technology
• Term: from 2016 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 320830943

The project academy engineering sciences supports the preparation and consolidation of interesting project activities towards a scientifically relevant concept, sufficient for establishing a subsequent research project within the DFG requirements.Herein, novel methods and applications around magnetic induction fields (INDIGO) are approached. Three potentially interesting activity fields are currently identified:Magnetically induced ultrasound transductionMagnetic transillumination of the human body for diagnostic purposesInductive detection of Nyquist noise from electrons in the conduction band of metals. The application would be non-contacting temperature measurement of metals, which could not be achieved by IR-pyrometry (highly reflecting metal surfaces).
