About 

  As a Professor and Researcher in Analytical Chemistry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), my core interest lies in overcoming the sensitivity limitations of NMR spectroscopy. My research program is dedicated to developing and implementing novel NMR methodologies, such as steady-state free precession (SSFP) and SHARPER sequences, to significantly enhance signal detection. This improved sensitivity is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of molecular dynamics, relaxation mechanisms, and intermolecular interactions.

My research specifically investigates these phenomena in systems of small organic molecules, synthetic and biopolymers, and metal complexes, leveraging computational tools, programming languages, machine learning, and neural networks to gain deeper insights into these complex scientific matrices.

Ultimately, these innovative NMR protocols provide high-fidelity quantitative and qualitative data, advancing our understanding in diverse scientific areas. This includes precisely determining kinetic rate constants for ligand exchange in metal complexes, accurately mapping protein binding sites for small molecule inhibitors, detailed characterization of polymer chain dynamics in responsive materials, and analyzing diffusion coefficients to probe solution-phase aggregation phenomena.
