updated 2026-09On 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: the new term at NSU, Structure of Matter again, reading with my daughter, and getting properly to grips with SIFTER spectroscopy.
