Current projects:

HyperFlux: pyruvate-to-lactate conversion in cells

Develop hyperpolarized NMR methods to quantitatively measure metabolic and transmembrane fluxes in cell cultures without radioactive tracers. Work includes hyperpolarization chemistry (PHIP/SABRE), benchtop NMR, kinetic modeling, automation, and data analysis of real-time metabolic readouts.

Hyperpolarized Xe-129 relaxometry for fragment-based drug discovery

Build a low-field, magnetometry-compatible platform where hyperpolarized xenon reports on fragment–protein binding via relaxation and exchange. Projects span assay design, relaxometry models, signal processing, data analysis, and benchmarking against orthogonal biophysical methods. Skills you will develop: NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry; chemical kinetics and quantitative modeling; hyperpolarization workflows; low-field instrumentation; MATLAB/Python simulation and data analysis

Quantum magnetometry at hypogeomagnetic field conditions

Development of quantum magnetometry and zero- to ultralow-field (ZULF) NMR detection strategies, enabling sensitive spin measurements in shielded and portable environments
