Objectives: Understanding principles, requirements, limitations and possibilities of different methods and the latest developments.

Target group: Course is mandatory for doctoral researchers selected to the I4WORLD programme and is available for all the doctoral researchers at the University of Oulu.

Content: Understanding principles of electromagnetic radiation interaction with matter, principles of electronic, vibrational, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, the use of imaging (e.g. MRI, X-Ray, optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopies), the principles of diffraction methods, possibilities of different methods and the latest developments. Imaging and characterisation methods in applied sciences: combining methods. Practical limitations. Requirements for on-line measurements. Requirements for medical measurement and imaging. Computational interpretation of experimental results.

Course lecture-topics: NMR, MRI, Scanning Probe Microscopy, Synchrotron, MAXIV and imaging techniques, X-ray computed tomography, Machine Learning in Microscopy, Bioimaging, Biophotonics and Biomedical Optics, Algorithm development for wearable devices, DNA barcoding, Environmental DNA and metabarcoding, Inverse problems, Mass spectrometry and Applied infrared spectroscopy.

The course work is 1 ECTS = 27 h, which consists of lectures and demonstrations given by different experts. Optional 1 ECTS available by conducting a learning diary according to given instructions.
