Prof. Lyndon Emsley's research has focused on the development of solid-state NMR methodology for the determination of molecular structures at the atomic-scale, and has pioneered the application of those techniques to a wide variety of important systems, including biomolecules, molecular crystals, molecules on surfaces, and amorphous materials. The advances have been made through the introduction of new concepts in NMR spectroscopy to increase sensitivity and resolution, and to obtain new types of multi-dimensional correlations, in combination with the development of new computational methods to model structure and to efficiently predict NMR chemical shifts.
This is a free event. Registration is required to guarantee enough seating space for everyone. Registration possible until January 22nd, 2025
