Welcome to Niko Loening's site
I'm an assistant professor in the chemistry department at Lewis & Clark College. This fall I'm teaching Chem 110L (General Chemistry Laboratory) and Chemistry 320 (Physical Chemistry: Quantum Chemistry and Statistical Thermodynamics). My research interests lie in the development and application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Before coming to the college, I worked as a post-doctoral research fellow with Bob Griffin at MIT and before that I was at the University of Cambridge where I worked on my PhD thesis under James Keeler. Most recently, I spent the 2006-2007 academic year at the Medical Research Council - Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, where I worked on determining protein structures using NMR spectroscopy.
