Songi Han is an American chemist who is a professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at Northwestern University. Her research considers electron and nuclear spins as sensors and detectors. She was elected a Fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in 2019 and president of the International EPR Society in 2020.
Early life and education
[edit]Han attended the University of Cologne as an undergraduate, where she majored in chemistry.[1] She moved to the RWTH Aachen University, where she investigated magnetic resonance. She was awarded the Ampere Society Raymond Andrew Prize in 2002.[2]
Research and career
[edit]Han has pioneered the use of spin based approaches (including electron paramagnetic resonance, Nuclear magnetic resonance and relaxometry, to understand the structure-property relationships of biomolecules. Her work on dynamic nuclear polarization has enabled new probes for monitoring biological processes.[3] This allows for the mapping of surface water differences around globular proteins.[4]
