Dr. rer. nat. Sören Lehmkuhl, former postdoc, 2019-2022
now junior group leader at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Dr. Lehmkuhl received his PhD from RWTH Aachen University working on unconventional NMR experiments and hyperpolarization technology. He joined the Theis lab in 2019 and develops parahydrogen based NMR technologies and their applications, ranging from miniaturized NMR to in vivo hyperpolarized MRI. His new endevours are focused on the parahydrogen enhanced RASER.
