Christian Schorn is Principal Investigator for GlaxoSmithKline Research & Development Limited, Tonbridge, UK. He studied Chemistry at the Universitat zu Koln, Germany, and made his diploma thesis in Chemical Engineering in the central research department of the Bayer AG, Leverkusen. His PhD thesis at the Universitat zu Koln included preparative work and structural investigation using 19F NMR spectroscopy. For a post-doctoral stay he went to the Universitat Bern, Switzerland, where he worked on pulse program development and structural characterization in the NMR service lab of Peter Bigler. During his stay he started the first edition of the present compendium. The work was finished during his post-doctoral fellowship at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where he worked with Nobel Prize winner Kurt Wuthrich on mammalian prion protein structures. Brian Taylor is at the University of Sheffield where he holds the position of NMR Service manager. He was born in London and obtained both his degrees at the University of Bristol, his doctorate under the supervision of Robin Goodfellow. He was a post-doctoral fellow at University of Bristol, where he worked with Gordon Stone. He moved to the University of Sheffield in 1974 to take charge of the Department of Chemistry's first FT NMR spectrometer. He is interested in the application of NMR spectroscopy in undergraduate teaching and has been instrumental in pioneering the use of NMR automation in British Universities. See less
