NMR Facility Contact and Publications
The NMR Facility is managed and directed by Alexander Goroncy, who is happy to help
with questions concerning NMR training, operation, software, maintenance, scheduling,
and applications, for internal and external users. We would like to encourage the use of these instruments as much as possible and are
happy to collaborate. This NMR Facility has capabilities for solution-state, solid-state,
rheo, diffusion, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
