The 53rd Southeastern Magnetic Resonance Conference (SEMRC) 2025 was held in Gainesville, Florida, from November 14–16, 2025. The conference covered topics in EPR, NMR, and MRI, featuring keynote, invited, contributed, and lightning talks, along with poster sessions.
Postdocs Kavipriya Thangavel, Sabastian Atwood, Brittany Grimm, and Manoj Subramanya, along with graduate student Ivan Weaver from Team EMR, participated in the conference. Prof. Steve Hill chaired the session on “EPR and its applications”.
Dr. Sabastian Atwood delivered a contributed talk titled “Multiphoton State Transitions in the Multilevel Spin System Gd3+:YVO4” and received the Best Oral Presentation Award at the conference. Many Congratulations, Sabastian!
Dr. Kavipriya Thangavel delivered a lightning talk titled “Elucidating Electronic Structure and Relaxation Pathways of Transition Metal Complexes via High-Power EPR Spectroscopy” and brought home the Third Prize in Oral Presentations. Great job, Kavi!
Kavi also received a Travel Award for attending SEMRC! Congrats!
Graduate student Ivan Weaver presented a poster on “CW and Pulsed EPR Investigation of HoW10 Crystals as Potential Spin Qubit Materials” and received the Runner-Up award in the poster presentation category. Great work, congratulations, Ivan! Keep going!
Ending the year on a high note! SEMRC was a rewarding experience, and Team EMR brought home a hat-trick of prizes. Onward to more achievements!
