Summary:

Ajoy's group uses NV and P1 centers in diamond to hyperpolarize nuclear spins via optically pumped dynamic nuclear polarization, dramatically boosting NMR/MRI signal for chemical sensing and nanoscale spectroscopy. This builds directly on the broader lineage of NV-ensemble quantum sensing experiments (DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry) that have reached pT/sqrt(Hz)-class sensitivities, extending it toward practical hyperpolarized-sensing applications; the lab is actively recruiting postdocs.
