Tobias Knopp

Prof. Tobias Knopp is a Professor of Experimental Biomedical Imaging at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). He leads the Institute for Biomedical Imaging and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IJMPI). His expertise spans tomographic imaging, image reconstruction, and signal processing with a focus on Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI).

Education:

• Diplom in Computer Science (University of Lübeck, 2007)
• PhD in Biomedical Imaging (University of Lübeck, 2010) awarded the Klee Prize (2011)

Research Interests: Tomographic imaging methods, MPI system development, model-based reconstruction, and hardware optimization. His work emphasizes MPI applications in clinical imaging and tracer development.

Awards: Klee Prize from DGBMT (2011) for groundbreaking MPI research.

Key Contributions: Pioneered the first commercial MPI system, developed open-source reconstruction frameworks (e.g., MRIReco.jl), and advanced MPI for real-time clinical applications. His research bridges theoretical models with practical hardware implementations.
