This course covers the principles of
acquiring and processing NMR and MRI data. It consists of two parts:
1) A one hour/week lecture, worth 1 unit of
credit (S/U grading).
2) An optional 2.5 hours/week lab, designed
to equip the student to be an independent operator of NMR/MRI instruments. The
lab is not for credit, and requires a fee (see below).
The lecture does not have to be taken for credit, and the lecture can be
attended without participating in the accompanying lab portion of the course.
Those wishing to take the lab, however, must attend the lectures.
One hour lecture and 2.5 hours lab once per
week. The lectures will include both theory of NMR/MRI and practical
considerations for instrument use. A topical outline of
the lectures is available for viewing.
The lab sections will be (hopefully) 3-4
people in size and will consist of hands-on instrument training. The goal of
the lab portion is to train the student to be an independent operator of the UC
Davis NMR Facility spectrometers/imagers for their research.
(Those interested can attend the lectures
only, and receive course credit if they so desire).
Equivalent of UCD Chem 107A-B and Physics

Friday of Fall Quarter (September 25).
Lecture will meet in Room 1047 of Valley Hall
in the Health Sciences Complex on the west side of campus, near Highway 113.
Labs will meet at the NMR spectrometers: Rooms 18, 19, and 25 of MS1-D. Your lab
assignment will be given after the first lecture. Click here
