Biographical sketch

Carlos A. Steren received his Ph.D. in physics in 1990 at the University of Rosario, Argentina. After a postdoctoral stay at the University of Massachusetts in Boston, in 1995 he joined the National Laboratory of Solid State NMR at the University of Co'rdoba. A visiting assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 2002 to 2006, Steren is currently the director of the NMR facilities at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His main research activities included protein structure elucidation by NMR, the study of elastomers by solid-state NMR, development of NMR hardware for low-field NMR, and pulsed and continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance.
