Scientific Advisory Board

Sybren Wijmenga (PhD, Professor) is co-founder of Spinnovation and member of the Scientific Advisory Board.

Sybren is full professor of Biophysical Chemistry, head of the Laboratory of Biophysical Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Radboud University Nijmegen (Van der Leeuw hoogleraar).

Kees Hilbers (PhD, emeritus Professor) is co-founder of Spinnovation and member of the Scientific Advisory Board.

Kees is emeritus professor with an outstanding scientific career largely dedicated to Physical/Biophysical Chemistry and Life Sciences (Faculty of Sciences, Radboud University Nijmegen).

Arno Kentgens is co-founder of Spinnovation and member of the Scientific Advisory Board.

Arno is since 2000 full professor for physical chemistry at Radboud University Nijmegen where is he heads the solid-state NMR facility for advanced materials science. He has been vice-chairman of the sub-faculty of chemistry, director of the educational institute for molecular science and was recently appointed as member of the board of the Institute for Molecules and Materials. His research focuses on 1) NMR Methodologies targeting higher Sensitivity and Resolution, 2) Development of NMR Techniques for Quadrupolar Nuclei, and 3) Applications of solid-state NMR to functional materials (energy storage, biomimetic polymers). It has resulted in over 100 well-cited (h-index 34) papers in international peer-reviewed journals. Arno has been co-organizer of various national and international NMR meetings, is member of the editorial board of the journal "solid-state NMR" and member of the international advisory boards of the Canadian and UK solid-state NMR facilities.
