Drs. Zhehong Gan and Irene Marco Rius Receive Prestigious Awards at the Joint ENC ISMAR Conference 2025

Dr. Zhehong Gan from the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) in Tallahassee, Florida, has been awarded the 2025 Günther Laukien Prize, while Dr. Irene Marco-Rius from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Barcelona, Spain, has received the Anatole Abragam Prize. The Günther Laukien Prize, established in 1999, honors cutting-edge experimental NMR research with a high probability of enabling beneficial new applications, and is presented annually at the ENC. The Anatole Abragam Prize, established by ISMAR, recognizes young investigators in magnetic resonance for their novel and significant contributions.

Dr. Gan has made significant contributions to NMR spectroscopy, developing advanced techniques for studying complex materials. His extensive research at ultra-high magnetic fields has advanced the boundaries of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, enabling more detailed and precise molecular analysis. Dr. Gan's recent accomplishments include work in high-resolution solid-state NMR, enhancing the ability to analyze molecular structures with unprecedented clarity. He has developed innovative methods for multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, facilitating detailed investigations of molecular dynamics and interactions. His work pushes the boundaries of NMR technology, making substantial impacts on both fundamental research and practical applications in materials science.
