Curriculum Vitae

Jonas Faltinath is a PhD student in the group of Prof. Tobias Knopp for Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology. During his study at the University of Hamburg, he worked mainly in the field of quantum optics resulting in the Master's thesis "Strongly Correlated Fermi Gases in Two and Three Dimensions" at the Institute of Laserphysics. For this thesis that presents a flexible set-up used for trapping and cooling of an ultracold quantum gas in different dimensions, he was awarded with the "Otto Stern-Preis". After that, he performed a one-year research stay at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland investigating an optical and non-destructive tomographic imaging modality on a quantum gas inside a high-finesse cavity. His current research focuses on the development of sensors based on the magneto-mechanical resonators platform as well as the emerging modality of magnetic particle imaging.

Abstract: A custom-developed magneto-mechanical resonator (MMR) for wireless pressure measurement is investigated for potential applications in process engineering. The MMR sensor utilises changes in the resonance frequency caused by pressure on a flexible 3D printed membrane. The thickness of the printed membrane plays a crucial role in determining the performance and sensitivity of MMRs and can be tailored to meet the requirements of specific applications. The study includes static and dynamic measurements to determine the pressure sensitivity and temporal resolution of the sensor. The results show a minimum sensitivity of and are in agreement with theoretical calculations and measurements. The maximum sensor readout frequency is 2 Hz in this study. Additionally, the temperature dependence of the sensor is investigated, revealing a significant dependence of the resonance frequency on temperature. The developed MMR offers a promising and versatile method for precise pressure measurements in process engineering environments.
