Richard R. Ernst, who received the 1991 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, will deliver a pair of lectures at New York University on Fri., April 27 (3:30 p.m. and 5:15 p.m.) at NYU’s Jurow Lecture Hall, Silver Center (31 Washington Place, between Washington Square East and Greene Street).

The event is free and open to the public, which should contact NYU’s Department of Chemistry at 212.998.8400 for more information. Reporters interested in attending the event should contact James Devitt, NYU’s Office of Public Affairs, at 212.998.6808 or james.devitt@nyu.edu.

Ernst, currently at ETH Zurich, received the Nobel Prize for his contributions to the development of the methodology of high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. A total of eight Nobel Prizes have been awarded for achievements in NMR. Ernst’s first lecture will trace the contributions of those who have been recognized by the Nobel Committee for their work in NMR-as well as the work of those in the field who have not won the prize.
