Magnetic Resonance: Principles and Applications

Born in 1951 in The Hague, Geoffrey Bodenhausen has established himself as a leading figure in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, holding prestigious positions at both EPFL and École Normale Supérieure. He completed his chemistry diploma from ETH Zurich in 1974 and earned his D.Phil. from Oxford University under Ray Freeman in 1977. His illustrious career includes postdoctoral work at UC San Diego and MIT, followed by joining Richard Ernst's team at ETH Zurich in 1980. He has served as professor at multiple institutions including the University of Lausanne (1985), Florida State University (1994), and the École Normale Supérieure (1996), while maintaining his connection with EPFL. His groundbreaking contributions include the development of the HSQC experiment in 1980 and pioneering work in two-dimensional Fourier transform NMR spectroscopy. His achievements have been recognized with numerous honors, including Fellowship in the American Physical Society, corresponding membership in the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Günther Laukien Prize, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Stockholm. Currently serving as professeur émérite at ENS Paris and professeur honoraire at EPFL's Laboratory of Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance, Bodenhausen has published over 400 papers and mentored more than 40 Ph.D. students, leaving an indelible mark on the field of NMR spectroscopy and chemical research.

Sami Jannin has built his career as a distinguished scientist specializing in chemistry and magnetic resonance. He completed his Master's in Physics at the Physics Engineering School of the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France in 2005, followed by his Ph.D. from EPFL in 2009. Currently affiliated with Lyon University's CRMN Chemistry department in France, he is recognized for his expertise in hyperpolarization techniques and magnetic resonance. His teaching contributions include co-instructing MOOCs at EPFL, where he collaborates with Geoffrey Bodenhausen to help students discover basic concepts in their field of expertise

Basile Vuichoud has established himself as a notable researcher in the field of magnetic resonance at EPFL. As a graduate student, he has made significant contributions to research in hyperpolarization and magnetic resonance, collaborating with renowned scientists like Geoffrey Bodenhausen and Sami Jannin. His work includes breakthrough research on filterable agents for hyperpolarization of water, metabolites, and proteins, published in Chemistry - A European Journal. He serves as an instructor for the "Basic Steps in Magnetic Resonance" MOOC at EPFL, where he teaches alongside Professor Geoffrey Bodenhausen and Dr. Sami Jannin. This seven-week course covers fundamental concepts in magnetic resonance applications, including MRI principles and molecular structures, making complex scientific concepts accessible to students worldwide
