solid-state nmr and solid-state chemistry
Based in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Ottawa, the Bryce Lab has diverse research interests in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, halogen bonding, mechanochemistry, and more.
Professor Bryce leads a skilled team of graduate students, undergraduates, postdoctoral fellows, and interns.
Our work is published in the leading internationally-recognized chemistry and general interest journals, as well as in top specialty journals.
