Jean-Nicolas Dumez is a CNRS associate scientist at the CEISAM research institute in Nantes. His work focuses on the development of fast multidimensional NMR methods, and their application to the analysis of solution mixtures, with a focus on out-of-equilibrium systems. This includes the development of fast diffusion NMR methods, and single-scan 2D NMR methods for reaction monitoring. He is an associate editor of the Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry journal, and has authored 70 papers in several areas of NMR (solid-state, liquid-state, MRI, hyperpolarisation). He has received multiple grants and awards, including an ERC starting grant awarded in 2018.

Patrick Giraudeau is a Professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Nantes. His research activities at the CEISAM research institute are focused on the development of quantitative NMR methods for the analysis of complex mixtures, including applications to metabolomics. Research highlights include the development of fast multi-dimensional quantitative experiments at high fields and also on benchtop spectrometers, as well as recent investigations in dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization. Patrick Giraudeau is an associate editor of the Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry journal, the vice-president of the Francophone metabolomics and fluxomics network (RFMF), a board member of major magnetic resonance societies (Ampere, Euromar) and has authored more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He has received multiple grants and awards, among which an ERC consolidator grant awarded in 2018.

Written by active investigators in the field, this book describes state-of-the-art methods that can accelerate the acquisition of 2D NMR spectra in solution-state NMR.
