The RSC ESR committee is delighted to announce the Prize 2024 to Professor Songi Han for her contributions to the development and application of Magnetic Resonance techniques, in particular her symbiotic and innovative approach to a seamless marriage of EPR and NMR methodology, to allow bespoke control and transfer of both electron and nuclear spin polarization and consequently exquisite and exploitable hyperpolarization. The Bruker Prize Lecture is awarded to scientists who have made...

The ISMAR Executive Committee has also selected Prof. Songi Han to be the 2023 Paul Callaghan Lecturer. Prof. Han’s work pushes the frontiers of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and relaxometry for the study of biomolecular interactions, biomolecular and materials surfaces, and the property of their hydration layers. The Callaghan Lecture honors the many contributions to magnetic […]

Mesopotamia (Mia) joined the Han Lab in 2018 after graduating from Florida State University. Her research focused on utilizing phosphorous NMR and various magnetic resonance-based techniques to prove the existence of pseudospin entangled Posner molecules. Mia’s dissertation is on the topic “Elucidating Phosphate Cluster Formation Mechanisms through NMR”. Phosphates play a ubiquitous role in biology, […]

Audra joined the Han Lab in 2018 after graduating from the University of Wyoming. Her research focused on probing water dynamics on polymeric surfaces using a highly controllable polymer platform. She aimed to better understand the effects of polymer structure and chemistry on water dynamics to enable deliberate design of specialty materials for use in […]

Michael joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from Montana State University – Bozeman. Since then, his focus has been on characterizing the sequence-dependent function of intrinsically disordered proteins. In particular, Michael works with disordered regions of the A2a GPCR to understand the relative contribution of disordered regions to A2a’s oligomerization properties, and the […]
