The NSF funded National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is sponsoring an in-depth workshop on building MRI coils for preclinical imaging the week of November 12 - 14, 2025 at the MagLab AMRIS facility, located at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
The content of this three-day workshop is designed to introduce graduate and post-doctoral students to the fundamentals of MRI coil design, construction, and testing. The workshop will focus on technical details of coil design and construction, including practical aspects of circuit design and construction, coil assembly and tuning, and coil testing. Participants will gain hands-on practice with RF tuning and matching, coil pattern design, cable making, impedance matching, basic soldering, 3D printing, and trap circuits. They will each build their own working surface coil that they will be able to take to their home lab on completion of the workshop.
The RF Coil Workshop registration fee is $200, and spots are extremely limited; we suggest you apply in advance of the October 1st deadline. To apply, please send an email application with your CV and a letter of support from your supervisor to eli.wolf@ufl.edu.
Further information is available on the AMRIS website.
