I am working on the following projects at the moment:

• Project number 1
• Project number 2
• Project number 3

I am responsible for managing solution state NMR facility.

Four walk-up automated NMR spectrometers and four high field NMR spectrometers.

I also collaborate as NMR expert on various research projects across the chemical, biological and material sciences.

My main areas of interest are conformational analysis, reaction monitoring, and NMR methodology.
