The 2023 Regitze R. Vold Memorial Prize is awarded to Rob Schurko. Rob has made a large number of important contributions to the field of solid-state NMR over the past 25 years. His research interests are very diverse, and he has made particularly impactful discoveries in the areas of quadrupolar nuclei and applications to pharmaceuticals. He contributed to the development of several useful broad-band pulse sequences and related techniques which have enabled the routine acquisition of ultrawide-line NMR spectra. His ongoing work on crystal structure prediction using novel NMR crystallography methods holds promise for the characterization of novel crystal forms used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Congratulations!

The 2023 Caldarelli Prize in Magnetic Resonance is awarded to Fréderic A. Perras. Fred is recognized for his rigorous, original, and creative contributions to fundamental and applied aspects of solid-state NMR, including dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and the application of solid-state NMR to study the structure of inorganic materials and catalysts. This prize acknowledges Fred’s insightful contributions to both experimental and theoretical aspects.

Congratulations!

A new tutorial session aimed at early career researchers, but open to everyone, covering solid-state NMR spectroscopy for material and biochemical sciences will take place in the morning on Sunday Sept 10 2023.

The registration for the 2023 edition of the Alpine Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Solids is now open. You can register and submit your abstract via the Participant Area. The registration deadline is 31 May 2023.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Chamonix in September.

The 2022 Caldarelli Prize in Magnetic Resonance is awarded to Ashok Ajoy. 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.

Congratulations!

The 2022 Regitze R. Vold Memorial Prize is awarded to Tatyana Polenova. Tatayana has contributed to shaping protein solid-state NMR from the very beginning. She has achieved some of the most important mile stones in this field, starting from sequential assignments of one of the first protein samples measured, to advanced recent concepts like fast magic angle spinning and dynamic nuclear polarization. Besides her outstanding contributions to science, she is centrally taking part in the life of NMR, being always supportive and enthusiastic of initiatives to further develop the field, encouraging young scientists, organizing meetings, promoting knowledge transfer, and beyond.
