About Me

I am a graduate student in John Franck's lab in the Chemistry Department at Syracuse University. I work primarily in methods development magnetic resonance research, with emphasis on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and liquid state Overhauser Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (ODNP). Some of my work has included constructing a modular 15 MHz NMR system to enable ODNP capabilities with a commercial 9.8 GHz Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) system, developing code for data analysis (primarily in python, using code bases developed in-house), and applying magnetic resonance methods (NMR, EPR, and ODNP) to study the behavior of water inside reverse micelles.

I am enamored with magnetic resonance spectroscopy, in particular the interplay between experimentation and theory and its growth alongside advances in modern technology. I aspire to contribute meaningfully to this field and to continue to watch and engage with its latest developments.

Here we describe our method for handling data acquired under sub-optimal conditions, relying primarily on the power of complex domain coloring plots. Read here.
