• What is Melanie Drake's job title?

  Melanie Drake is a Worked in Jeff Reimer's lab to understand the electron-nuclear interactions responsible for nuclear spin polarization generated from nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond at high magnetic fields (7-9T). The ultimate goal is to transfer nuclear spin polarization to target nuclei outside the diamond as a means of expanding the capabilities of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Experience with high-field NMR, X-band and 240GHz Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), NMR probe building, lasers/optics, cryostats, quantum mechanical modeling, Mathematica, MATLAB, Easyspin, and Igor Pro. Work has involved working directly with over a dozen scientists in a collaboration of five top magnetic resonance research laboratories spanning three universities.CBE GSAC is the graduate student group for the Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UC Berkeley.
