Biography

Christian Hilty is a Professor at Texas A&M University in the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the development and application of magnetic resonance techniques to investigate rapid processes in molecular dynamics. His work on hyperpolarization of nuclear spins achieves unprecedented signal levels, enabling the acquisition of NMR spectra for reactions as they occur in real time. His applications span various fields including enzyme catalysis, organic chemistry reactions, and polymers, along with the development of new hardware specifically designed for NMR experiments. He also investigates the dynamics of hyperpolarized spin systems and employs modern multi-dimensional NMR techniques to explore the fundamental determinants of protein structure and function, particularly in membrane proteins. Hilty earned his diploma and Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
