Dr. Naresh Dalal is an academic physical chemist who specializes in materials science. He is the Dirac Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University, where he is affiliated with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Dalal has synthesized a substance known as Fe8,[1] one of the strongest magnets known, which has allowed new kinds of medical imaging to be possible.
Research
Dalal has written or co-written more than 400 publications for peer-reviewed journals[2] that have been cited over 7,000 times. He is the co-principal investigator on a National Science Foundation grant award,[3] investigating photo responsive molecules that can translate the action of heat, pressure, or light irradiation into substantial changes in the magnetic and structural properties of materials.
Dalal's research group focuses on:
- Studying the physical properties of solid-state materials
- Development of new materials (superconductors, highly correlated electron spin systems, molecular magnets, ferroics, etc.)
- Understanding of structure-property relationships
- Obtaining guidelines for developing new materials
- Development of novel applications or improvement of existing instrumental methods (high field EPR probe design, NMR methods, etc.)
Honours
Dalal received Florida State University's highest faculty honor when he was named the 2012-2013 Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor.[4] The award is named in honor of the late FSU vice president for Academic Affairs Robert O. Lawton. He is the recipient of the 2010 Silver Medal for Physics/Materials Science from the International Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Society. [5] In 2007, he received the Florida Chemistry award from the Florida Section of the American Chemical Society,[6] and the Southern Chemist Award from the Memphis Section of the American Chemical Society.
He was named a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2000[7] after being nominated by the Division of Chemical Physics in 2000, for his development of electron and nuclear multiple resonance methods with much enhanced time scales and spectral resolution, and especially for their application to measure molecular dynamics and to elucidate mechanisms of ferroelectric phase transitions. He was elevated to the rank of ACS fellow in 2010.[8]
