David was born and raised in Bozeman, Montana, where he also completed his undergraduate studies at Montana State University. His fascination with NMR spectroscopy grew during his PhD studies at the University of Cambridge, UK, where he had the freedom to explore this field and acquire far too many oxygen-17 (17O) solid-state NMR spectra. After his PhD, he took up a postdoctoral appointment at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Now a PI, David is focused on pushing the boundaries of magnetic resonance methods and instructing the next generation of researchers in interdisciplinary work. In his free time, he enjoys cycling, hiking, and exploring amateur radio.

Emily was adopted from Guiyang, China, and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She began her studies at Pikes Peak State College, where her calling for chemistry was solidified after taking her first general chemistry course. Her experience in two NSF REU programs at Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania fueled her interest in research. She later transferred to the Colorado School of Mines to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Emily aims to obtain a PhD and continue in research after completing her bachelor’s. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, running, reading, and listening to music.
