Consultants-
Professor Eric Oldfield received his B.Sc. degree in 1969 from the University of Bristol and his Ph.D. degree in 1972 from the University of Sheffield, in Great Britain. He currently is a member of the School of Chemical Sciences faculty at the University of Illinois. His research interests are in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies in physical, inorganic and biological chemistry.
Professor R. J. Kirkpatrick received his Ph.D. degree in 1972 from the University of Illinois. His research deals primarily with the application of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to the investigation of geochemical, mineralogical, and petrological problems. He is author of more than 150 research publications.
