Yifan Quan wins the Longuet-Higgins Early Career Researcher Prize from Molecular Physics
Quan is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Robert Guy Griffin's research group.
Dr. Yifan Quan, a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Robert Guy Griffin‘s group, has been named the winner of the Longuet-Higgins Early Career Researcher Prize from Molecular Physics.
Awarded annually by the Editors of Molecular Physics, the Longuet-Higgins Early Career Researcher Prize is given to to a talented, early career writer who has written for the journal in the preceding year and whose article was published within 5 years of being awarded their PhD.
Quan was chosen as the most recent awardee in recognition of his article, General Theory of Light Propagation and Triplet Generation for Studies of Spin Dynamics and Triplet Dynamic Nuclear Polarization. Published in Molecular Physics (2023) Volume 121 (3). https://doi.org/10.1080/00268976.2023.2169025.
“I am extremely honored to be recognised by the field, and this acknowledgment means a great deal to me,” said Quan in an interview with Molecular Physics. “This recognition not only boosts my confidence but also significantly motivates me to continue pursuing my research interests with even greater enthusiasm.”
Quan’s primary research focus is the development of high-field pulsed DNP methods for biomolecular studies using NMR. 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
