Research description
Jonathan Mitchell obtained his BSc in Physics from the University of Kent, UK, in 2000. He remained at the same institute to research the behavior of liquids in porous media using variable temperature Magnetic Resonance (MR) relaxation measurements and was awarded his PhD in 2004. Since then he has been employed as a postdoctoral research associate, first at the University of Surrey, UK, where he worked on mobile NMR devices for studying moisture transport in cement and concrete structures. He is now working at the University of Cambridge, UK, as a scientific consultant to Schlumberger Cambridge Research, investigating the application of MR to porous sedimentary rocks with the aim of improving the understanding of enhanced oil recovery processes. Concurrent with this work, he is also involved in MR studies of a wide range of other commercial materials including catalysts, surfactants, and cement-based products.
