Wellesley College Activities: 
As my title indicates, I am involved with a variety of projects involving NMR, computers, and other advanced scientific instrumentation throughout the sciences. I run the Wellesley College NMR/MRI Center and am a resource person for the science departments here at Wellesley College, supporting both classroom and research activities. My principal research interests are in the development of new techniques for NMR spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging and chemical shift imaging. I participate in a number of collaborative NMR projects with members of the faculty at Wellesley College.  I have written instructions for many instruments in the Science Center at Wellesley College.
Additional Interests and Activities: 
I am an avid swimmer, biker, and cross country skier. I swim at the Wellesley College pool at lunch time as often as I can, and ride my bike on the weekends. I ski at a place called Garnet Hill in the Adirondack mountains. It's a great place for cross country skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer.
