Mathematics and Structural Biology at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory

该奖项补充了J. R。奎因将在佛罗里达塔拉哈西的国家高磁场实验室（NHMFL）工作一年。 他将沉浸在实验室的科学环境中，以更好地了解研究的实验方面，并将与核磁共振（NMR）主任Timothy Cross合作提供数学专业知识，使用固态NMR确定蛋白质结构。 这一年在NHMFL将提供奎因的机会，研究第一手的理论和实验技术的科学学科，这不是他的专长.核磁共振，晶体学，量子力学，蛋白质结构。 这将加强数学和分子生物物理研究所（IMB）在FSU和NHMFL的其他科学之间的沟通。 奎因将监督一个数学研究生资助的NSF研究培训补助金通过IMB谁是写论文数学的应用和工作在NHMFL，并将协助其他数学和IMB学生在NHMFL工作。 他将开发课程材料，以解释关注的数学问题，在NHMFL的板凳科学家数学和其他IMB的学生。 NHMFL为研究人员提供了一个多学科的环境，需要许多领域的专业知识才能实现使用磁共振确定结构的科学目标。 该IGMS项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）共同支持。

The award supplements a half salary sabbatical for J. R. Quine to spend a year at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, Florida. He will immerse himself in the scientificenvironment of the laboratory to get a better knowledge of the experimental side of the research and will supply mathematical expertise in a collaboration with Timothy Cross, Director of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), on the determination of protein structure using solid-state NMR. The year at NHMFL will provide Quine the opportunity to study first hand the theory and experimental techniques of scientific disciplines which are not his expertise ... NMR, crystallography, quantum mechanics, protein structure. This will enhance communication between mathematics and the other sciences in the Institute for Molecular Biophysics (IMB) at FSU and the NHMFL. Quine will supervise a mathematics graduate student funded on a NSF Research Training Grant through IMB who is writing a dissertation on this application of mathematics and working at NHMFL, and will assist other mathematics and IMB students working at NHMFL. He will develop course materials to explain the mathematical questions of concern to the bench scientists at NHMFL to mathematics and other IMB students. The NHMFL provides a multidisciplinary environment for researchers,where many areas of expertise are required to reach the scientific goal of structure determination using magnetic resonance. This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
