The South Eastern Magnetic Resonance Conference took place from 10/23 – 10/26 2024.
It was organized by a team of researchers from Georgia Tech (Anant Paravastu, Andrew McShan, Hongwei Wu and Hanno Leisen) and Emroy (David Reiter and Kurt Warncke). Over 3 days we had a great exchange discussing new research in the field of NMR, MRI and EPR.
People liked our conference poster, which was designed by Andrew McShan with some help from AI.
Over 100 people participated in the conference. The picture shows the most enthusiastic group who stayed until the end of the conference, which was on a Saturday afternoon.
We awarded prizes to trainees for the best posters and talk.
Here is the list of winners:
