Courses in Magnetic Resonance

Understanding NMR Spectroscopy, by James Keeler

Location of course: University of Queensland Moreton Bay Research Station, Dunwich, North Stradbroke Island, Qld

Description:

To promote NMR eduction in Australia, ANZMAG in conjunction with The University of Queensland are pleased to welcome Prof. James Keeler for a week-long course covering the basics of NMR spectroscopy. Prof Keeler is an experienced teacher of NMR spectroscopy who is a regular contributor to summer schools and courses around the world. This course is based on his book "Understanding NMR Spectroscopy", published by John Wiley. The course is aimed at those who are already familiar with using NMR on a day-to-day basis, but who wish to deepen their understanding of how NMR experiments work and the theory behind them. It is assumed that participants are familiar with the concepts of chemical shifts and couplings, and are used to interpreting proton and carbon-13 spectra. It is also assumed that they have at least come across simple two-dimensional spectra such as COSY and HMQC and perhaps may have used such spectra in the course of your work. Similarly, some familiarity with the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) will be assumed.

The course will comprise a mixture of lectures and exercises. Sections will first start with something familiar - e.g. multiplets - and then go deeper into the explanation behind this, introducing along the way new ideas and new concepts. In this way the new things are always rooted in the familiar. In addition, the lectures of the course will be recorded on video, and the footage will later be available as educational DVD.

Detailed information can be found on the home page of the course.
