Abstract：

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has emerged as a cornerstone technique for probing molecular structures and dynamics across diverse fields, from biomedical diagnostics to materials science. Recent advancements in high-field NMR systems and innovative methodologies have expanded its applications, enabling unprecedented insights into complex systems. The development of ultra-high-field NMR will further enhance resolution and sensitivity, fostering transformative applications in chemistry, biology and material science. This lecture highlights the transformative potential of Bruker NMR technology in addressing contemporary scientific challenges.

Bio of the Lecturer：

Rainer Kümmerle studied Physics at the University of Constance, Germany and obtained his BS in 1997 for an electron self-exchange study on rubredoxin carried out at the C.E.A. Grenoble, France. He received his PhD from the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble in 2000 under the supervision of Jacques Gaillard and Jean-Marc Moulis. The focus of his work was on EPR and NMR studies of electron transfer mechanisms in iron-sulfur proteins.

He joined Bruker Biospin S.r.l (Italy) in May 2000 as an application scientist and worked in a joint project with the group of Prof. Ivano Bertini at the University Florence, Italy. Since November 2002 he works as an application scientist for Bruker Switzerland AG and leads since 2013 as director of Bruker Switzerland AG in Fällanden the global application science team for the MRS division of the Bruker Biospin group.
