Most notable scientific contributions

1. Clarification of the spin dynamics applicable for various macro-molecular labeling studies (see publications 47, 57, 59, 60; attached listing)
2. Introduction of the concept of magnetization mode (see publications 44, 55; attached listing) and development of the working equations which describe nuclear spin relaxation in multispin systems (see publications 30, 48-55; attached listing)
3. Initiation of product operator formalisms in magnetic resonance (see publications 35, 39, 52; attached listing)
4. Illustration of the potential importance of dynamic frequency shifts in NMR studies of multistate spin systems (see publications 10, 34, 39, 44-46; attached listing)
5. Demonstration that polarization is effectively transferred via cross correlation. Utilization of this feature reveals molecular detail otherwise obscured in the presence of Zeeman or one-spin order (see publications 6, 8, 11,12, 14-17, 20, 23, 25, 29, 33; attached listing)
