Prof. Freed has been on the Cornell faculty since 1963. He is a world leader in the ESR field and has received many national andinternational awards for his work in this field. Under his leadership, the laboratory has pioneered many of the theoretical and instrumental technologies that serve as the basis for the Resource. He provides the overall direction of the Resource and actively participates in all facets of its scientific programs, and its administration.

Co-PI Brian Crane has a long-standing collaboration with ACERT having incorporated ESR spectroscopy into many aspects of his research. Bringing an application perspective, he investigates the structure, function, and mechanism of protein systems that underlie signal transduction, with particular emphasis on processes mediated by redox and photochemistry, and those dependent on highly cooperative macromolecular assemblies.

Dr. Madhur Srivastava is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University and at ACERT. With a background in signal-processing, he has specialized in using advanced data processing methods for a variety of ESR-based biomedical applications.

Dr. Borbat joined the Freed Research Group at Cornell, in 1995. His research interests are centered at pulsed ESR, in particular at the development of Multiple-quantum coherence ESR spectroscopy and related techniques relevant to distance measurements in biological applications, and the development of 2D-FT ESR and its applications to study molecular dynamics, including transient phenomena. He manages activity in distance measurements in biological systems and in two-dimensional FT ESR.

Mr. Dunnam is presently Director of Operations for the ACERT National ESR Resource and Senior Electronics Engineer. His areas of professional expertise are EM physics, electrical engineering and business management. Mr. Dunnam's primary responsibilities at ACERT are centered on instrumentation for c.w. and pulsed millimeter-wave ESR spectroscopy andhigh-resolution ESR microimaging.
