Description: All-optical 87Rb atomic magnetometer in MIT modality for conductivity imaging of industrial and biological samples without magnetic shielding.
Renzoni's group is internationally recognized as a pioneer in electromagnetic induction imaging (EMI) with optical atomic magnetometers. Research directions: (1) All-optical 87Rb atomic magnetometer MIT โ demonstrated first magnetic induction tomography (MIT) with atomic magnetometers (2013), first EMI of biological tissues below the 1 Smโปยน threshold (Applied Physics Letters 2020), enabling non-invasive cardiac conductivity imaging; (2) Unshielded RF atomic magnetometer operation with general regression neural network auto-optimization; (3) Non-destructive evaluation โ industrial corrosion/defect imaging via quantum-sensitive MIT; (4) Sub-Fourier signal processing with nonlinear systems for frequency resolution beyond classical limits. Collaborates with NPL on quantum sensing standards. Applications span medicine (atrial fibrillation), security, and materials inspection.
