Personal profile
About
Dr. Luo received a Ph.D. degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital prior to joining the UMSL faculty where he is now a research associate professor. He manages the NMR facility and recently assumed responsibility for the Mass Spec facility.
Dr. Luo's research interests involve the use of NMR techniques for generating three-dimensional structural and dynamical information on biological macromolecules, organic compounds, and organometallic complexes. NMR is being increasingly applied in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, medicine, physics, and materials science. Currently, Dr. Luo is the director of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility. Current research interests also include collaboration with scientists in solving problems on all these and related subjects using NMR spectroscopy, as well as the development of techniques and implementation of new NMR experiments for users at different areas.
