Nominator's project description

Professor Han is well known internationally for her pioneering work on developing innovative instrumentation and techniques for highly amplified nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of materials, surfaces and biomolecules. During her research stay in Germany, Professor Han seeks to unravel the role of solvation in protein dynamics, protein-membrane interaction and catalysis by synergistically combining multiple techniques.
