Gareth Alun Morris FRS[5] is a Professor of Physical Chemistry, in the School of Chemistry at the University of Manchester.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Education

Morris was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle and Magdalen College, Oxford[2] where he was awarded a DPhil in 1978.[1]

Research

Research in the Morris lab involves the development of novel nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques, and their application to problems in chemistry, biochemistry, and medicine.

Awards and honours

Morris was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2014. His nomination reads:

Gareth Morris is one of the world's foremost innovators in high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and has had a major influence on the determination of chemical structure by NMR. Almost all commercial NMR spectrometers contain hardware and software that he originated, including deuterium gradient shimming (now standard on commercial spectrometers) and ingenious pulse sequences such as DANTE (the prototypical selective excitation sequence) and INEPT (now a key component of multidimensional NMR techniques, including many of those used for protein 3D structure determination). The impact and wide applicability of Morris’s contributions have made them indispensable components of the state-of-the-art NMR toolkit.[5]

Morris received the James Shoolery Award 2015 awarded by SMASH (Small molecule NMR conference):

It is hard to imagine an NMR laboratory in the world which is not influenced daily by his developments from the foundations of INEPT and DANTE, through to modern gradient shimming, DOSY and pure shift methods.[13]
