Interdisciplinary Magnetic Resonance

Catalog description

This Interdisciplinary course on Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy provides an introduction to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) in the solution and solid state, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The course provides a theoretical foundation and experimental skills to develop an aptitude for various magnetic resonance techniques in different disciplines such as structural biology, biomedical imaging, catalysis, materials characterization, spin engineering, and also the emerging quantum information science. The course also covers the application of nuclear magnetic resonance in industries, including petrochemistry and pharmaceuticals. Students will have the opportunity to work on a 3-week short project on a topic of their choice, e.g., multidimensional spectral analysis for proteins, pharmaceuticals, soft matter, catalysis, instrumentation, spin engineering, numerical simulation, magnetic resonance in health.
