Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy is a dynamic way for scientists of all kinds to investigate the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter. Its many applications make it a versatile tool previously subject to monolithic treatment in reference-style texts. Based on a course taught for over ten years at Brandeis University, this is the first textbook on NMR spectroscopy... Read more

Biography

Thomas C. Pochapsky graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in analytical chemistry in 1977. He obtained his PhD in organic chemistry at the University of Illinois, where he met his coauthor.  He served post-doctorate positions in biochemistry at the University of Illinois and in macromolecular NMR at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California.  Prof. Pochapsky came to Brandeis University in 1989, where he is now a Professor of Chemistry and Protein Structure. 





Susan S. Pochapsky graduated with a BA in chemistry from Wayne State University in 1981. She earned her PhD in organic chemistry at the University of Illinois, and did post-doctorate work in NMR of natural products at Scripps Oceanographic Institute.  She previously worked as an applications scientist at Bruker Instruments (1990-1996) and a senior research scientist at Harvard-MIT Magnetic Resonance facility (1996-2000), before becoming a senior research associate at Brandeis University.
