Dr Ashok Ajoy
U. C. Berkeley
New avenues with hyperpolarized nuclei: quantum sensing, time-crystals, and spin-tracking
Citation: Ashok has performed pioneering work on quantum-enhanced NMR and MRI to generate new analytical tools on-chip or on the benchtop. His activities include efforts to develop miniaturizable NMR probes, innovative hyperpolarization methodology, and the study of nanoscale spin dynamics. This work provides novel types of measurement modalities, and also allows the elucidation of new nanoscale and quantum phenomena.
