NMR Spectroscopy Lab

When Dennis Curran has a problem, he knows where to turn for help in locating the solution: Damodaran Krishnan, director of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility.

Curran, Distinguished Service Professor and Bayer Professor of Chemistry, has collaborated with Krishnan and his group several times since Krishnan assumed the director’s role 11 years ago. Curran credits the excellence of Krishnan’s work – in conjunction with the caliber of the instruments offered in the facility – with advancing his research on several projects.
