My lab explores the plasticity of radical-forming enzymes. We identify amino acids and structural motifs that influence the reaction mechanism and modify these elements to control product outcomes.

I'm excited to participate in the SharedEPR network to meet more spectroscopists in my region of the country and to build a consortium of scientists and users who would support a bio-EPR facility based at Wake Forest University.

My research interests are:
- spin dynamics of a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond at high magnetic fields
- high-frequency nanoscale NV based DEER spectroscopy

Luke St Marie is a graduate student at Georgetown University, developing new graphene bolometers for use in THz EPR of single molecule magnets. As a newcomer to the field of EPR, he hopes that participating in SharedEPR can expose him to advancements in EPR technology and allow him to learn from experts in the field.

My research is focused on developing signal processing methods to complement instrumentation in ESR spectroscopy and imaging. Currently, I am developing signal denoising methods in ACERT (Freed Group) to obtain accurate signals and reduce signal acquisition times.

My main research interests are organic semiconductors for solar cells / OLEDs and spin defects in silicon carbide for sensing, single photon sources and ultimately quantum computing.
Since we have all home-built spectrometers I'm very much interested in modern spectrometer development.

I'm excited about the opportunities and beautiful science that will be made possible by SharedEPR.

We are studying the formation of radicals during enzyme-catalyzed (HRP or Laccase) oxidative dehydrogenation of monolignols and their derivatives by using continuous-flow EPR in combination with surface immobilization of enzymes.

My research interests focus on using EPR and other biophysical tools to study the structure and structure-function relationships of macromolecules, as well as developing methods and biological applications of multi-frequency and pulsed EPR. My current work involves structural analyses of membrane proteins and characterizing protein-membrane interactions. I am managing a X-/W-band Bruker E680 spectrometer and a W-band HiPER spectrometer at the NHMFL, which are open to outside researchers.

My research interests are focused on application of spectroscopy, especially electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and fluorescence, in chemistry and biology, specifically to study structure and dynamics of membranes and proteins, drug-protein, and protein-protein interactions.

My main research activities and interests are directed to interdisciplinary areas of magnetic resonance, spin physics, nanotechnology, and biophysics of lipid bilayers and membrane proteins. A strong emphasis is given to method and molecular development such as resonators for high field EPR and probeheads for DNP, pH-sensitive probes and labels, and biradicals for DNP.

My original area of EPR research was the study of radical anions of organosilyl- and organogermyl-substituted aromatics. For the past 25 years I have had an on-going research collaboration with the research group of Dr. Ronald Mason at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in the general area of free radical metabolites of xenobiotic compounds. I have maintained a modest EPR research program at with undergraduate coworkers at Hampden-Sydney College.along those lines.

I am interested in membrane protein structure and dynamics especially as influenced by lipid environment. EPR is a great way to get specific biophysical data on protein conformations in heterogeneous systems. Using CW-EPR and DEER distance measurements I have been exploring intact outer membrane and whole cell systems. I am interested in all types of EPR on membrane proteins and lipid systems.

I have focused my career on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) instrumentation, with emphasis on resonator development from 250 MHz to 260 GHz. I have positioned myself as an expert in finite-element modeling of electromagnetics and applying this expertise to create novel geometries for biologically relevant aqueous samples.

The ShareEPR network is an amazing way to network within the community and maintain collaborations.

I'm interested in DNP as the intersection between NMR and EPR. I believe that understanding the electrons/radicals via EPR is of utmost importance for understanding and improving DNP.

I am a condensed matter experimentalist specializing in Terahertz science and technology (0.1-10 THz). I am also director of UC Santa Barbara's Institute for Terahertz Science and Technology (ITST). We have at UCSB a home-built 240 GHz EPR spectrometer that can run in cw and pulsed modes. In pulsed mode, we can run either with ~50 mW pulses from a solid-state source, or several hundred Watts from a Free-Electron Laser. We welcome visitors and collaborators in the wonderful EPR community!

I worked in HTSC and Perovskite Type Materials. Summer School participation is very useful. EPR study will be done for Smart materials.

my research interest is in the application of advanced EPR techniques in all field of science; bio-inorganic chemistry, material science. Surely we cant work on all the exp and the samples on which we would like to work in our lab, so its a very good idea to be a part of a big epr community.

My research interests deal with defects in material such as NV center in diamond using various Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) techniques. Also, I am strongly interested in developing new pulse sequences (for instance, EDNMR) and in combining them with the quantum sensing etc.

My research is concerned with the spin dynamics of photo-generated radical pairs in organic molecules, and how these dynamics could be used for quantum information processing. I hope that participating in the SharedEPR network will allow me to be continually exposed to new techniques in EPR spectroscopy and to maintain connections with other researchers in the field.

I am an engineer working in the DU EPR Center with DRs. Sandra and Gareth Eaton. My interest is in designing new resonators, magnets and gradient coils systems for various EPR methodologies including rapid scan and micro resonators. I also synthesize EPR spectra by numerical integration of the Bloch equations.

My group is interested in the coherent control of both electron and nuclear spin systems, primarily on inorganic insulators and semiconductors. We build magnetic resonance instrumentation and run a variety of experiments in the lab including cryogenic DNP at W-band and EDMR at both low and high magnetic fields.

Our research focuses on understanding the structure/function relationship on nucleic acids and protein-nucleic acid complexes. We develop a biophysical tool, called site-directed spin labeling (SDSL), to probe structural and dynamics of nucleic acids, and we combine SDSL and other biochemical and biophysical approaches to investigate specific systems that function in fundamental biological processes.

As a visiting scientist at ACERT, Cornell University, my research focus on studying protein conformations in the presence of denaturants and maesuring inter-site distance in protein-lipid compositions through EPR spectroscopy. Participating within SharedEPR network is an excellent opportunity to connect and learn from other researchers and build my own expertise.

I am currently a PhD candidate in USC.

I have attended the 2015 Rocky Mountain conference. My major EPR subjects are EPR oxymetry and EPR imaging.
