2026 Gorter Award for Angel Wong
On 16 October 2026, the Dutch NMR discussion group (NMR-DG) was pleased hand out the 2026 C.J. Gorter Award at its annual symposium, held at Wageningen University & Research. The Award recognizes the best Ph.D. thesis in magnetic resonance spectroscopy and/or magnetic resonance imaging of the preceding two years. The 2026 award went to Dr. Angel Wong for her Doctoral thesis on “Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Methodologies for Structural Analysis of Materials”, which was defended in April 2026 at Radboud University in Nijmegen. The thesis described meticulous magnetic resonance pulse sequence development aimed at enabling studies of quadrupolar nuclei with by naturally low sensitivity, with example applications of the method to heterogeneous catalysts with industrial relevance.
