Biography
Dr Marina Carravetta is Associate Professor in the Magnetic Resonance area in the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton, since 2016. She is the Deputy Director of Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences Graduate School and also senior postgraduate tutor.
She was previously a Royal Society University Research Fellow since 2007. Before that, she was a postdoctoral fellow in Southampton. She obtained her Ph.D. from University of Stockholm (Sweden) in 2003 and completed her undergraduate studies in University of Calabria (Italy) with honours.
Marina's area of speciality is NMR, where she has a long track record of contributions in the areas of methodology developments (including symmetry based R sequences, singlet state NMR, nitrogen-14 detection, spin counting methods to name a few) as well as in the applications of solid state NMR to Materials Science, with particular focus on NMR on catalytic studies, and operando NMR.
Recently, she has focused towards quantum optimal control and quantum technology in the context of NMR spectroscopy.
Marina was awarded the BRSG-NMRDG Annual Prize for Excellent Contribution to Magnetic Resonance by an Early Career Researcher in 2011 and the Ernst Award in 2004.
