  mentoring_philosophy: 'True teachers and mentors are those who enable us to think for ourselves. Undergraduate research provides ample opportunities outside the classroom to apply textbook concepts and to develop creative solutions to real-world problems. We will work practicing the inquiry-based learning approach, asking unexplored questions and designing strategies to answer them. I believe that a firm understanding of the basic concepts is necessary to appreciate advanced applications of the subject. To this end, students in our team will learn to balance carrying out practical experiments along with studying basic chemistry and NMR spectroscopy. Weekly meetings will be scheduled during which time we will review new concepts learnt, evaluate progress made, and make plans. Projects will involve collaborating with research groups across the world, which will the expose the student to new areas of research and work culture. I believe in a transparent and open work culture where students make sustainable progress while feeling comfortable to discuss challenges and prioritize self-care.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'When scientists synthesize new materials, their atomic-level structure which is their unique chemical identity needs to be determined. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a unique technique that allows the atomic-level analysis of materials. What makes NMR unique is its ability to provide information about the local environment of an atom for both crystalline and disordered materials. Moreover, NMR is non-invasive which is why magnetic resonance imaging is popular in medicine. In this project, we will apply solid-state NMR spectroscopy for the characterization of materials or pharmaceuticals, chosen based on the student''s interest. Our team works on different classes of materials including catalysts, photovoltaics, and soil-based materials. We will utilize the state-of-the-art infrastructure that is available at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory to answer fundamental questions in these topical research fields. Primarily, we will develop and apply solid-state NMR spectroscopic methods to perform NMR of a variety of relevant nuclei in materials using advanced technologies such as high magnetic fields, fast magic angle spinning and dynamic nuclear polarization.'
