Robert Guy Griffin wins Karl-Fredrich Bonhoeffer Lecture Award
This award honors the scientific achievements of outstanding international and national scientists.
Robert Guy Griffin, the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry, was named the recipient of the 2024 Karl-Fredrich Bonhoeffer Award Lecture. On December 12, Griffin traveled to the Max Planck Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences (MPI) in Göttingen, Germany, to deliver his talk, -β-Amyloid, Microwaves and the Magic Angle.
The interdisciplinary lecture series was established in honor of the physico-chemist Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer (1899-1957). Bonhoeffer, who established and served as director of the Institute of Physical Chemistry at MPI Göttingen, was among the first to follow an interdisciplinary approach in his research.
The Karl-Fredrich Bonhoeffer Award Lecture is given annually in recognition of the scientific achievements of outstanding international and national sciences.
A large fraction of the Griffin Group’s research effort is devoted to the development of new magnetic resonance techniques to study molecular structure and dynamics.
