DESCRIPTION:Bakerian Lecture by Professor Lynn Gladden CBE FREng FRS\n\nMa
 gnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used in hospitals to image int
 ernal structure and blood flow within the human body.  Research has shown 
 that it is possible to harness these techniques to study non-biological sy
 stems\, with many applications across the physical sciences and engineerin
 g.  Professor Lynn Gladden will explain how processes occurring within opt
 ically opaque objects can be revealed\, from imaging flow fields in plant 
 cells to mapping chemical conversion within catalytic reactors.  Recent ad
 vances enable bespoke implementations of the MRI method to be applied to e
 ver more challenging systems\, providing insights which cannot be obtained
  using any other measurement technique. \n\nProfessor Lynn Gladden leads r
 esearch activities at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre at the Univer
 sity of Cambridge.  Her group develops methods that advance our understand
 ing of processes that lie at the heart of many technologies in the energy 
 and pharmaceutical sectors.  She was awarded the 2014 Bakerian Lecture for
  her work in the development of magnetic resonance techniques to study mul
 ti-component adsorption\, diffusion\, flow and reaction processes.\n\nThe 
 Bakerian lecture is the Royal Society's premier lecture in the physical sc
 iences. It is delivered annually at the Royal Society in London and is acc
 ompanied by a medal and a gift of £1\,000.
