Apply Now: Workshop on DNP-Enhanced MAS ssNMR at NHMFL

The NIH-funded RM1 project, National Resource for Advanced NMR Technology, is sponsoring an intensive, hands-on workshop on DNP-enhanced MAS ssNMR. The workshop will take place August 25–28, 2025, at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, Florida.

This four-day program will provide:

  • An overview of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) theory
  • Practical instruction in ssNMR spectroscopy, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), and DNP techniques
  • Coverage of DNP instrumentation and sample preparation strategies
  • Hands-on lab sessions using:
    • A 600 MHz MAS-DNP instrument
    • A benchtop X-band EPR system
    • Sample preparation and DNP data collection workflows

The workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in applying MAS-DNP methods in their research. Staff scientists and professors are also welcome to apply.

Space is limited to 7 participants. Attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging.

For more details or questions, please contact Heather Barnes (hbarnes@magnet.fsu.edu).  To apply, please send a CV to Heather Barnes along with a short statement of how the workshop will benefit your research.  Applications are due on Friday, June 13.
