- General Reseach Interests
Pines has two complementary interest areas. The first is in the
establishment of new concepts and techniques in NMR and MRI,
in order to extend their applicability and enhance their capability
to investigate molecular structure and organization from materials
to organisms. The study and diagnostic use of nuclear spins
interacting with each other and with other degrees of freedom
requires the development of novel quantum theoretical and experimental
methods, and the design and fabrication of next-generation
NMR and MRI equipment. The second component of his research
program involves the application of such novel methods, together
with programs in collaborating groups and programs at Berkeley
and other academic, federal and industrial laboratories, to
problems in chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine.

- The third generation ex situ scanning system
has an adjustable sweet spot and flat gradients, allowing for
3D imaging over a relatively large volume.
