Additional information
by Ramakrishna V. Hosur (Author), Veera Mohana Rao Kakita (Author)
This textbook is designed for graduate students to introduce the basic concepts of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR), spectral analysis and modern developments such as multidimensional NMR, in reasonable detail and rigor. The book is self-contained, so, a unique textbook in that sense with end of chapter exercises included supported by a solution manual. Some of the advanced topics are included as Appendices for quick reference. Students of chemistry who have some exposure to mathematics and physics will benefit from this book and it will prepare them to pursue research in different branches of Chemistry or Biophysics or Structural Biology.

Author Biography
Ramakrishna V Hosur (b. 1953) received a Ph. D. (Chemistry) from TIFR (University of Mumbai) in 1979. He was a post-doctoral fellow at ETH Zurich (1981-83) in the group of Prof. Kurt Wuthrich and also collaborated with Prof. Richard Ernst. He has been employed at TIFR since 1978, and retired as Senior Professor in May 2018. He was also Director of the University of Mumbai (UM) - Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CEBS), abbreviated as UM-DAE CEBS, from December 2009 till October 2017. He was the Convener of the National Facility for High Field NMR at TIFR during 2002-2018. Currently, he is associated with CEBS and also with IIT-Bombay. His research has been in the area of NMR and its applications in chemistry and biology over the last four decades. His work has been recognized by several awards, such as Young Scientist Medal of the Indian National Science Academy, BM Birla Award, GN Ramachandran Gold Medal of CSIR, Govt of India, JC Bose National Fellowship, to name a few. He has been awarded 'Padmashri' by the President of India in 2014. He is an elected Fellow of International Society of Magnetic Resonance (ISMAR), The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), and all the Science Academies of India.
Veera Mohana Rao Kakita (b. 1983) is currently a Dr DS Kothari postdoctoral fellow at the School of Chemistry, University of Mumbai (UM) - Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (UM-DAE CEBS), Mumbai, India. He obtained his PhD in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance from the University of Hyderabad/ CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad in 2014. He is the recipient of the CBMR-NMRS gold medal (in 2016) for his research excellence in NMR spectroscopy. His areas of interest are developing high-resolution NMR methods and their applications, Hadamard NMR spectroscopy, pure shift NMR, NMR super sequences, metabolomics, and applications of Machine Learning/ Artificial Intelligence techniques in chemistry.
