During my Ph.D. at Leiden University, Netherlands, we developed a new method to determine the supramolecular structure of molecules used in artificial photosynthesis. This involved solid-state NMR, electron nanocrystallography, and quantum mechanical modeling as part of the 'Biosolar Cell Consortium,' one of Europe's first artificial solar fuel projects.

At Ames Laboratory, USA, I used advanced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP)-SSNMR to study the mechanism of an industrial catalyst. Later, at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, I worked on developing DNP methods to study solid electrolytes in batteries and how disorder affects the DNP mechanism.

In the future, we aim to combine solid-state NMR with other techniques to explore new chemistry solutions for the energy crisis.
