Professor Physical-Organic Chemistry Senior Academic Adviser,
Biological and Chemical Sciences
Current research interests focus on the use of solution and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study structure and dynamics at the molecular level. We use NMR methods for problem solving in a wide range of materials, chemical and biochemical areas. Current instrumentation available includes multinuclear 9.4 T (400 MHz) and 14.1 T (600 MHz) machines for both solution and solid state work, and an Oxford Instruments Hypersense for exploring dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) effects
