Dr. Colin Fyfe

Colin Alan Fyfe is recognized world-wide as a leading research worker in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. He developed high resolution NMR techniques for the study of charge-transfer complexes, and reactive intermediates. More recently, he has published important original work in solid state NMR, using cross-polarization and magic angle spinning techniques. He is clearly a world leader in that field. The outstanding contributions he has made using that technique to study the structure of polymers, reactive intermediates, surfaces and surface immobilization techniques, glasses, cellulostics, and zeolite catalysts are elegant and definitive.
