Instructor(s) Profile

N. Suryaprakash is a Professor and chairman at the NMR Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science and superannuated from the service last year. His research work is focused on diverse wings of NMR spectroscopy, with a major focus on the manipulation of spin dynamics to design novel NMR techniques to combat inherent challenging problems of NMR spectroscopy, viz., to achieve sensitivity enhancement, higher resolution, discerning of degenerate transitions and facile extraction of spectral information. His designed single and multiple quantum methodologies significantly transformed chiral analysis of molecules in weakly aligned media using 1H NMR. He has also discovered numerous water compatible weak chiral aligning media that circumvented many inherent limitations of enantiomeric differentiation. His seminal contributions have catapulted research in NMR spectroscopy, structural chemistry, chiral chemistry and in the field of weak molecular interactions. He is a world renowned leader in the field of NMR spectroscopy.
