PEPR FACILITY

To celebrate the opening of our new Centre for Pulse Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at Imperial College London (PEPR), we invite you to participate in our hybrid (online and in person) launch event.

The program will feature short talks by a diverse set of speakers, and include opportunities for networking and tours of the PEPR facility (the latter led by Facility Manager, Dr Alberto Collauto). We aim to showcase the wide range of challenges that can be tackled with EPR, and give you an idea of PEPR’s unique capabilities and vision.
