George R. Bacanu is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Centre for Magnetic Resonance (ICMR). His research focuses on spectroscopic analysis of fullerenes, endofullerenes, and endofullerides to investigate dynamics of confined atomic and molecular species using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Neutron scattering, Infra-red, and THz spectroscopy. His primary research explores molecular confinement within carbon cages, particularly examining noble gas interactions in endofullerenes. By integrating multiple spectroscopic techniques, Bacanu characterizes interaction potentials and dynamic behaviors of encapsulated species like helium-3 and krypton, bridging physical chemistry, quantum mechanics, and nanomaterials science. This work reveals fundamental insights into non-bonded interactions and molecular motion at nanoscale. Recent publications (2021-2023) demonstrate consistent methodological innovation through combined NMR, neutron scattering, and computational approaches. Key studies include rubidium endofulleride superconductivity, helium dynamics in C60 cages, and krypton encapsulation synthesis, establishing patterns in confined species behavior across varying experimental conditions and fullerene structures. As a core member of the Spectroscopy, Spectrometry, and Structure group within ICMR, Bacanu utilizes advanced magnetic resonance facilities and collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving molecular synthesis, quantum dynamics simulation, and neutron scattering experiments at international research centers.
