About

The magnetic moments of electrons and nuclei play important roles in applications spanning biomedical imaging, spintronics, and renewable energy. My group seeks to understand how chemical composition enables the dynamic and static control of these magnetic units. Specifically, we develop chemical design principles for materials and molecules that permit the command of the quantum origin of magnetism - spin. In pursuit of this goal, students in my group perform inorganic synthesis and modern spectroscopic and magnetic analyses. Current applications that we are working toward are radically new probes for magnetic resonance imaging, novel magnetic materials, and systems with reactivity controlled through magnetism.
