The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $480,000 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants for the "Development of High-Field NV-Detected NMR Spectroscopy for Nanoscale Chemical Sensing" under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program. The USC research team, led by Dr. Susumu Takahashi, is developing novel approaches to quantum sensing-assisted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at high magnetic fields. This work aims to improve the sensitivity and resolution of NMR techniques for atomic and molecular-level investigations, with potential applications in analytical chemistry and magnetic resonance imaging. The 3-year project will also include parallel educational initiatives to benefit graduate, undergraduate, and K-12 students, particularly targeting underrepresented minorities in USC's local community. No subawards are planned under this grant.
