Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBlake Wilson is an interdisciplinary scientist and Assistant Professor of Chemistry at USC with nine years of post-degree research experience and seventeen years working at the interface of chemistry, biology, and physics. He specializes in magnetic resonance, optics, and terahertz/microwave techniques to probe protein behavior and biomolecular condensation, combining instrumentation development (including high-power pulsed EPR at 240 GHz) with time-resolved solid-state NMR and dynamic nuclear polarization. His background spans MIT undergraduate RF and gyrotron engineering to leading free-electron-laser–based experiments at UCSB, giving him uncommon hands-on expertise in both experimental hardware and computational analysis. Blake’s work aims to translate fundamental spin and accelerator physics into tools for understanding health-relevant biomolecules, and he brings a persistent curiosity for new ways to look at complex systems.
