NEW IMAGING AND ANALYTIC METHODS

The ARIS research programme focuses on the use of advanced imaging and analytical methods for studying materials that ensure safety, quality, and sustainability across various fields, including pharmaceuticals, construction, and telecommunications. Using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and imaging, the team investigates the structure of pharmaceutical products, building materials, and waste, developing new approaches for their characterization and quality control.

In parallel, the programme advances experimental techniques and the development of novel materials such as high-entropy alloys, multiferroics, and molecular magnets, and applies nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) to detect counterfeit medicines. By employing optically pumped magnetometers for detecting brain magnetic signals, the research also explores new directions in clinical practice and public health. The results will have a broad societal impact — from reducing building energy consumption and improving drug safety to advancing material quality control and next-generation technologies.
