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.

Tyler was raised in rural West Texas and completed his undergraduate B.S. Interdisciplinary Chemistry degree at Tarleton State University. He is joining us after a 10 year sabbatical from academia during which he pursued a variety of different experiences including building a coffee shop in a school bus, living at a yoga retreat center, and hiking 900 miles of the AT among other interesting things. Armed with a decade of life experience, he is applying his knowledge to the study of dynamics in solid ion conductors primarily through the use of solid-state magnetic resonance techniques. His academic interests generally include unraveling the impact of anion dynamics on cation motion and the application of double resonance techniques to dynamic solid systems. In his free time he enjoys participating and organizing community living events, studying and practicing yoga/meditation, and doing almost anything outside.
Chris was born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado. He completed his undergraduate studies at Hastings College in Nebraska, with a dual major in Chemistry and Music. During his undergraduate degree, he completed an NSF REU program at the University of Minnesota that confirmed his interest in Chemistry research. He is now pursuing an Applied Chemistry PhD at Colorado School of Mines. His research uses a variety of liquid state NMR techniques including pulsed field gradient diffusion NMR and electrophoretic NMR to study ion movement in battery electrolytes. In his free time, he enjoys video games, Dungeons and Dragons, and rock climbing.

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.
