Lyndon Emsley

Lyndon Emsley is a Professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Basic Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. He leads the Laboratoire de résonance magnétique (LRM), focusing on advanced NMR methodologies and their applications in materials science, pharmaceuticals, and energy materials. His roles also span the SCGC and EDCH educational programs within EPFL, emphasizing interdisciplinary teaching in chemistry and chemical engineering.

Research interests include NMR crystallography, solid-state chemistry, perovskite materials for solar cells, and structural characterization of amorphous drugs. He has supervised numerous PhD students in these areas.

Key contributions involve developing high-resolution NMR techniques, such as dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), and applying machine learning to chemical shift predictions. His work bridges fundamental material science with practical applications in drug design and renewable energy.

Teaching responsibilities include courses on structural analysis, experimental physical chemistry, and advanced NMR techniques. Collaborations involve multi-scale structural analysis and supramolecular engineering for photovoltaic stability.
