Biography

Dan was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. He received a B.S. in Chemistry with an environmental chemistry concentration, in 2013, at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and conducted research under the tutelage of Dr. Chad Rienstra. He then arrived at The Ohio State University in 2013 to purse graduate studies in Physical Chemistry with a research focus on NMR spectroscopy, with Dr. Chris Jaroniec. Here, he developed methods for studying protein and nucleic acids using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Upon completing his Ph.D. in 2019, Dan joined the ranks of Research Support Services to help manage the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department’s ever-growing NMR and EPR facility. 

Research Interests: 

  • Investigating insensitive species and low abundance states of biomolecules using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR spectroscopy 
  • Quantifying electron concentrations for calibrating nitroxide DNP polarizing agents and indirectly observing reactive oxygen using a nitroxide spin-trap by EPR spectroscopy 
  • Structural elucidation and dynamics measurements of protein, nucleic acids, peptides, small molecules, and polymers using solution-state and solid-state NMR spectroscopy
