Acquisition of an Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscope to support DoD Research
Abstract
The high performance digital Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer will become part of the state-of-the-art multidisciplinary core facility to enhance the research capabilities of both faculty and students as well as teaching infrastructure at Fayetteville State University (FSU). The instrument will support a number of STEM-related research projects of interest to the DoD such as smart materials, advanced materials, molecular interactions and traumatic brain injury. The instrument will also be used in a wide range of undergraduate courses for the training of students in areas including, biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science. FSU is firmly dedicated to training the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals. Along with involving undergraduates in research, the university also has two on-campus early college high schools, students of which are also involved in research. The NMR will be used to train high school students, undergraduate students, and faculty members from both on-campus and the surrounding area. FSU also actively involves middles schools and faculty in research and exposure to new equipment and techniques. The NMR will be part of this involvement and exposure.
