Martin Bencsik

Dr. Martin Bencsik is a Professor at Nottingham Trent University's School of Science & Technology, with research spanning MRI/NMR physics and honeybee behavior monitoring. He leads undergraduate modules in Forensic Databases and Biometrics while pioneering the use of accelerometers for automated bee colony health assessment.

• PhD in MRI from University of Nottingham
• Lecturer at NTU since 2003, promoted to Professor in 2023
• Collaborator with artist Wolfgang Buttress

His research interests include:

• Non-invasive condition monitoring
• Machine learning for ecological data
• Bioacoustic signal analysis
• Hybrid MRI/NMR sensor systems
• Pollinator health assessment
• Medical physics safety

Recent publications demonstrate a transition from:

• MRI pressure mapping in soft solids
• Microbubble contrast agents
• To: predictive analytics for bee colonies
• Acoustic identification of insects
• Environmental sensor networks

He contributes to EPSRC and H2020 B-GOOD funded projects while maintaining active collaborations with D.C. De Graaf (Ghent University), M.I. Newton, and R.J. Paxton.
