The Global NMR Group

The global NMR group is a union of early career spectroscopists interested in spreading knowledge of magnetic resonance techniques to amateur and veteran spectroscopists through educational webinars and online events like the twitter conference.

The group formed during the pandemic when people were searching for new ways to connect.

The aim of the group was to provide a webinar series that differed from the normal conference style talk by putting an extra emphasis on the introductory material and questions from the audience.

Characterization of materials and pharmaceuticals with high-field NMR spectroscopy

Dr. Amrit Venkatesh is currently developing a NMR research program at 1.5 GHz using the 36 T series connected hybrid magnet at the MagLab in Tallahassee, Florida. Amrit is interested in the development and application of solid-state NMR at high magnetic fields, using fast magic angle spinning and dynamic nuclear polarization, to characterize materials and pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Amrit Venkatesh is also one of the founders of the global NMR group (https://www.globalnmr.org/) supporting students to network and learn more about NMR.

DNP advancing NMR detection capabilities

Dr. Equbal's research interests are interdisciplinary. Currently, he is focused on the development of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), a technique that can significantly improve the sensitivity of NMR and biomedical imaging. In the long term, he is interested in light-activated spin chemistry and its application in the development of materials for future quantum technologies.

Understanding the degredation of solar cells

Dr. Michael Hope is an assistant professor at the University of Warwick, UK, having just completed his postdoctoral research at EPFL, Switzerland with Prof. Lyndon Emsley. Michael’s research focuses on the atomic-scale characterisation of materials for energy storage and generation. Using solid-state NMR in particular, Michael determines the structure and mechanism of these functional materials to guide the design of new materials with improved functional properties. "
