Courses

Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance

CH-401

Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and applications to medical imaging. Principles of modern multi-dimensional NMR in liquids and solids. Structure determination of proteins & materials. Measurement of molecular dynamics. Principles of Hyperpolarization

Basic and advanced NMR - Level 1 A (EPFL)

CH-601(x)

Basic theoretical and experimental aspects of NMR will be taught. Students will be familarized with modern NMR spectrometers.

Basic and advanced NMR - Level 2 (EPFL)

CH-703

The goal is to give a sound theoretical and practical foundation in NMR for various applications in research. PhD students and post-docs who have followed the course successfully should be able to perform modern multi-dimensional NMR experiments independently.

Experimental physical chemistry

CH-349

Experiments related to physical chemistry courses.

Structural analysis

CH-314

The aim of this course is to treat three of the major techniques for structural characterization of molecules used in chemistry and chemical engineering: mass spectrometry, NMR, and X-ray techniques.
