Our work focuses on the design and application of what might best be called novel pulsed techniques, using controlled radiation fields to alter dynamics.
Collaborations also play an important role, particularly for medical applications.
There is no lack of difficult problems to solve in either field. As in much of science, the trick is to find difficult problems that are also important. In our work, the importance often comes from the demonstrated applications, which branch out over a wide range of fields, ranging from optics and telecommunications to clinical magnetic resonance imaging. NMR had to be modified. Our rework of the theoretical framework of the field led us to predict new pulse sequences, which had never been tried because they would have been predicted to be totally useless in the conventional picture.
