Henk van As
Wageningen University, The Netherlands
Henk Van As received his Ph.D. from Wageningen University in 1982 and continued as a PD in the same group. Since 1986 he is an Associate Professor (Biophysics) at Wageningen University. He retired in 2019. His research focused on unravelling and understanding transport processes and (water) dynamics at different time and length scales in porous bio-systems to unravel structure-function relationships. For this, Time Domain NMR and quantitative MRI (correlated relaxometry, diffusometry and flow and the effect of exchange), and (rheo-)MRI methods and hardware were developed.

His contributions to MR include:
– Multi-dimensional stochastic NMR spectroscopy
– NMR imaging in material science and chemical engineering
– Mobile NMR for process and quality control

Eiichi Fukushima received his Ph.D. from University of Washington in 1967 and worked at Los Alamos and Lovelace Medical Foundation before co-founding New Mexico Resonance and then ABQMR.
His contributions to MR include:
– Using NMR to measure non-Newtonian and granular matter flows
– Earth’s field NMR
