Joseph Zadrozny

Joseph Zadrozny is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at The Ohio State University. He holds positions at the Newman and Wolfrom Lab and focuses on synthetic chemistry to control magnetic resonance properties of metal complexes for applications in biomedical imaging and quantum information. His research spans environmental sensitivity of metal-ion nuclei, electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI), and molecular control of magnetic noise.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Virginia Tech (2007)
• PhD in Chemistry from UC Berkeley (2013) under Prof. Jeff Long
• Postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Danna Freedman at Northwestern University

Research Interests: The Zadrozny group designs metal complexes to enhance environmental sensitivity of nuclear spins, develops low-frequency EPRI techniques, and studies magnetic noise in quantum systems. Key areas include coordination chemistry, molecular design, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Their work aims to bridge inorganic chemistry with advanced biomedical and quantum technologies.

Advising & Labs: The Zadrozny Research Group actively recruits undergraduates, graduates, and postdocs. Current projects focus on inorganic chemistry and magnetic resonance, supported by grants from leading scientific agencies. The group emphasizes cutting-edge synthetic and spectroscopic techniques to explore spin-based applications.
