Sophia Hayes, PhD

Professor, Chemistry

We primarily pursue solid-state NMR studies of materials, such as “optically-pumped NMR” of semiconductors (a form of quantum sensing), computation of NMR tensors and predictions of spectra, and research on materials for CO2 capture and sequestration, as well as for hydrogen energy storage and fuels. Much of the work we do is on less-commonly studied NMR species.
