2024 MagLab Summer School on Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy

MagLab Summer School on Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy banner

If you are an upper-level undergraduate or graduate student looking to gain experience with solid-state NMR spectroscopy, the 2024 MagLab Summer School on Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy is the perfect place to learn about both NMR fundamentals and advanced NMR techniques, including an introduction to Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) NMR and using the world’s highest magnetic field NMR platform, the 36 T Series Connected Hybrid. No previous knowledge of NMR beyond organic chemistry is assumed; basic knowledge of NMR is helpful but not necessary.
