Petrik Galvosas

Petrik Galvosas is an Associate Professor of Physics at the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington. His research focuses on advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques applied to soft matter systems and porous media. Key areas include studying non-Newtonian fluid behavior under mechanical shear, flow instabilities, and molecular transport in materials like zeolites and natural porous structures. He has developed methodologies to enhance NMR's versatility for applications in agriculture, materials science, and biomedical engineering.

Galvosas supervises doctoral and master's students, offering expertise in rheo-NMR velocimetry and MRI-based flow imaging. He has secured grants totaling over NZD 5 million, including projects on cancer cell characterization via NMR and 3D-printed porous media analysis. His work bridges fundamental physics with applied technologies, with 150+ publications since 2002. Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed, but his extensive grant portfolio reflects sustained academic impact.
