Jamie D. Walls obtained his PhD in chemistry in 2003 from UC Berkeley under the supervision of Alex Pines. He subsequently performed postdoctoral research at UCLA (with Prof. Yung-Ya Lin) and at Harvard University (with Prof. Eric J. Heller) before joining the faculty at the University of Miami in 2008, where he is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry.
The research in the Walls group mainly focuses on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodological development and applications and studying spin physics. In particular, there is a focus on research into improving resolution in NMR and expanding the ways we can control spin dynamics.
