Carlos Pacheco
(Pacheco, C.) Senior University Lecturer, Chemistry and Environmental Science
B006 Tiernan Hall (TIER)
About Me
Ph.D. in Chemistry with several years of industrial experience and 19+ years of academic experience as Manager of the NMR Facilities at Princeton University/Chemistry, University of Connecticut/Chemistry and Pharmacy, NMR Spectroscopist at Penn State University/Chemistry, and NMR Senior University Lecturer/NMR Laboratory Manager at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Core Competencies:
• Strong background in solution and solid-state NMR.
• Broad knowledge and hands-on maintenance experience of Bruker and Agilent (Varian) NMR instrumentation.
• Hands-on and working knowledge of other spectroscopies: FTIR, UV/Vis/NIR, Raman, EPR. Other techniques: TGA, DSC, GC-IR, and LC-MS.
• Wide experience in small molecule structure elucidation and biological NMR.
• Lead research projects in developing and validating NMR methodologies.
