Current Work Our research centres on the development of new NMR spectroscopy experiments to determine the atomic-level structure and dynamics of complex materials and molecular systems, to solve a range of problems across disciplines. Teaching & PhD PhD Students Ray Cowen, Ümmügülsüm Günes, Máté Visegrádi, Ruben Rodriguez Madrid Past EPFL PhD Students Dominik Józef Kubicki, Arthur César Pinon, Albert Hofstetter, Federico Maria Paruzzo, Baptiste Busi, Snaedis Björgvinsdóttir, Martins Balodis, Aditya Mishra, Manuel Cordova, Bruno Simões de Almeida, Yu Rao, Daria Torodii Past EPFL PhD Students as codirector Daniele Mammoli, Anna Morales Melgares Courses Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance CH-401 Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and applications to medical imaging. Principles of modern multi-dimensional NMR in liquids and solids. Structure determination of proteins & materials. Measurement of molecular dynamics. Principles of Hyperpolarization Basic and advanced NMR - Level 1 A (EPFL) CH-601(x) Basic theoretical and experimental aspects of NMR will be taught. Students will be familarized with modern NMR spectrometers. Basic and advanced NMR - Level 2 (EPFL) CH-703 The goal is to give a sound theoretical and practical foundation in NMR for various applications in research. PhD students and post-docs who have followed the course successfully should be able to perform modern multi-dimensional NMR experiments independently. Experimental physical chemistry CH-349 Experiments related to physical chemistry courses. Structural analysis CH-314 The aim of this course is to treat three of the major techniques for structural characterization of molecules used in chemistry and chemical engineering: mass spectrometry, NMR, and X-ray techniques.
