Current Research

Dr Haiwei Chen's research focuses on advanced RF engineering for ultra-high field MRI, with particular emphasis on the design of multi-channel transmit/receive RF coil arrays and the application of artificial electromagnetic materials. His work integrates electromagnetic simulation, hardware development, and experimental validation to improve B1 field uniformity, imaging efficiency, and RF safety across 3T, 7T, and beyond. He has developed RF coil arrays, metamaterial-inspired components, and high-permittivity structures to manipulate RF field distributions, and contributed to the development of practical methods for SAR evaluation and simulation-experiment correlation. Combining electromagnetic simulation, bench validation, and in-vivo testing, his research aims to advance the safety, efficiency, and clinical applicability of RF technologies in next-generation MRI systems. Moving forward, his work will focus on RF system innovation for 7T and 11.7T MRI, aiming to address technical challenges in field uniformity, SAR management, and coil performance, and to enable the next generation of UHF MRI systems for both research and clinical use.
