Multinuclear Solid-State NMR Studies of Biological, Environmental, and Energy Systems


EMSL Project ID
49164

Abstract

My research team at EMSL carries out a number of studies that utilize a combination of high-resolution, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and computational chemistry to address areas of national need. My research projects include scientific explorations in environmental, biological, and energy sciences. Specific Aims for the research to be completed include studies in reactive surface area for catalysis science, catalytically-active sites in zeolites and related materials, development of small volume NMR, NMR studies of the energy materials, chemical shift anisotropy measurements to predict magnetic properties in silicates, and studies of dynamical behavior of hydrocarbons under nanopore confinement.
