Using NMR to study adhesives, artwork, and more

We use NMR, along with other methods, to study a wide range of materials and applications. Some of these include coatings, epoxies, and polymers; chemical kinetics; art, archaeology, and objects of cultural heritage; and biomaterials.

Connecting molecular behavior and macroscopic measurements.

We use computational methods to predict and interpret relaxometry and other measurements done using single-sided magnets. We also actively pursue better methods to analyze relaxometry data in context of particular applications.

Improving single-sided NMR instrumentation and use

We develop pulse sequences, nuclear hyperpolarization, and accessory hardware that improve the ease of use, accuracy, and quality of single-sided NMR measurements.

Skills students learn

Students in the spinlab develop a range of skills broadly relevant to science and research. Some of these skills include experimental design, electronics, Python and/or Matlab programming, literature searching, and data management.
