We are excited to share that three research papers from the Wu Lab were published and a new patent application was filed on the same day, highlighting recent progress in our research on magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic imaging systems, and magnetic sensing technologies.
Paper 1
“Computational design of a 3D magnetic particle imaging (MPI) prototype”
Led by Shahriar Mostufa, this work presents a finite-element simulation framework for designing a 3D MPI system capable of field-free-point scanning within a 20 mm³ field of view.
Paper 2
Led by Ebrahim Azizi, this study introduces a physics-informed approach combining stochastic Langevin modeling and Bayesian optimization to estimate key magnetic nanoparticle parameters from AC magnetization measurements.
Paper 3
Led by Bahareh Rezaei, this review discusses magnetic nanoparticle contrast agents for MRI, including their physical mechanisms, biomedical applications, and challenges for clinical translation.
