Prof. Ville-Veikko Telkki is the head of the NMR Research Unit at the University of Oulu (UO). He received a PhD degree in physics at UO in 2006 about ¹²⁹Xe NMR of porous materials. His postdoc period 2005-06 in the Pines lab at UC Berkeley focused on remote detection imaging of hyperpolarized fluids. Currently, his research concentrates on the development and application of advanced high- and low-field NMR methods for materials research. The methods include ultrafast relaxation and diffusion experiments (Laplace NMR), remote detection, microimaging, NMR cryoporometry, ¹²⁹Xe NMR, hyperpolarization etc. The materials cover aerosols, biosensors, lignocellulosic biomaterials, solid electrolytes, sustainable cements, wood etc. He received a prestigious consolidator grant from the European Research Council in 2018. He is the chair of EUROMAR2025 in Oulu.
