CAREER: Structure and Dynamics with Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

在化学系实验物理化学计划的支持下，伦纳德·J·米勒教授将在加州大学河滨分校进行以下方面的研究：(1)开发和应用二维核磁共振方法，利用标量耦合驱动的关联建立无序固体材料的贯通键连接；(2)在自然丰度水平上开发碳-13关联光谱学。后一种方法正被纳入Bruker BioSpin的PULSE程序的标准操作系统版本中。职业计划的教育部分主要旨在招募和培训本科生研究人员，其中许多人来自代表性不足的群体，并将这些学生录取到化学研究生课程。该研究项目将开发使用磁共振方法研究有机固体的新工具。该项目将涉及本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员。在米勒教授的实验室工作的一些本科生研究人员包括加州少数人参与科学联盟(CAMP)计划的参与者。此外，米勒教授还邀请附近克莱蒙特学院(Pui‘s)的本科生参与他的研究。

In this CAREER award, supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Leonard J. Mueller will conduct research, at the University of California, Riverside, on (1) the development and application of a two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance method for establishing through-bond connectivity in disordered solid materials using scalar coupling-driven correlation and (2) the development of carbon-13 correlation spectroscopy at the natural abundance level. The latter method is being incorporated into the standard operating system release of pulse programs by Bruker BioSpin.The educational component of the CAREER plan is aimed primarily at recruitment and training of undergraduate researchers,many from underrepresented groups, and matriculating these students into graduate programs in chemistry.This research project will develop new tools for the study of organic solids, using magnetic resonance methods. The project will involve undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral researchers. Some of the undergraduate researchers working in Prof. Mueller's laboratory include participants of the California Alliance for Minority Participation in Science (CAMP) program. In addition, Prof. Mueller involves undergraduates from the nearby Claremont Colleges (PUI's) in his research.
