Research Interests

Research is focused on the application of a wide variety of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methodologies to address problems in the areas of materials science, molecular structure, molecular motion and dynamics, and reaction dynamics. 

We employ a wide variety of modern liquid-state and solid state NMR techniques, including one-dimensional and multi-dimensional methods to solve problems related to structure and dynamics in the areas of Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Biological, and Analytical Chemistry, as well as interdisciplinary work in collaboration with groups from MCDB, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, NREL, NIST, and NOAA.
