Anatoly Melnikov, Ph.D.

Senior Researcher, EPR laboratory / International Tomography Center, Novosibirsk, Russia

I use pulsed EPR spectroscopy and terahertz radiation to study single-molecule magnets, and write the open-source software that runs the experiments.

On the bench: the ITC field controller, where the target is 1 ppm stability; commissioning time-resolved EPR at NIOCH; and T2 measurements on trityl isotopomers. Also the SIFTER background, with M. Yulikov (ETH, Zürich) and N. Isaev (ICKC, Novosibirsk).

In the editor: a Mellin transform implementation, and auto_epr in Atomize.

In between: trying to relax before the new term, reading with my daughter, and getting properly to grips with SIFTER spectroscopy.
