Research with EPR

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is a non-destructive analytical technique that utilizes the magnetic properties of paramagnetic species to provide valuable insights into their chemical and physical properties. EPR can detect and quantify free radicals and transition metal ions in various materials, from solids and liquids to gases, cells, and even living organisms. It offers structural insights into intermolecular interactions and chemical structure through both continuous wave (CW) and pulse EPR techniques. EPR is unique because of the unambiguous and direct detection of radicals and transitions metals. It finds applications in various fields including material science, structural biology, biomedical research, and industrial quality control.

EPR Spectroscopy for understanding disease forming proteins

Dr. Gunnar Jeschke

Dr. Gunnar Jeschke has been full Professor in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance at ETH Zürich since April 2008. His electron paramagnetic resonance research incorporates elements of molecular and polymer physics, transition metal chemistry, and molecular biology. He contributes to understanding of spin dynamics, developments in EPR instrumentation and pulse sequences for hyperfine spectroscopy and distance distribution measurements, integrative structural biology, and ensemble modelling and analysis of proteins and their complexes with RNA.

Science in the field of EPR

Dr. Nino Wili

Dr. Nino Wili is a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark. 

He works at the interface of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Nino is interested in all applications of magnetic resonance and enjoys pulse sequence design the most. This may include analytical calculations, numerical simulations, and at times also building new instrumentation.
