Presenter: Dr. Kalina Ranguelova (Senior EPR Applications Scientist, Bruker BioSpin)
Dr. Kalina Ranguelova has been an EPR Applications Scientist at Bruker BioSpin Corporation since 2011. She completed her Ph.D. at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, where her research focused on the structure of inorganic copper complexes using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. After holding research positions at CUNY and the National Institute for Environmental Sciences, where she studied free radical biology and EPR spin trapping as a method for measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS), she joined Bruker. In her current role as an Applications Scientist, she focuses on developing new applications for EPR in various fields and providing customer support and training.
Presenter: Alvaro Montoya (EPR Application Scientist, Bruker Biospin)
Alvaro Montoya began his EPR career as a Ph.D student at the University of Florida after obtaining his B.S. in Chemistry from Susquehanna University. Early in his graduate career, he made use of CW and High Field EPR in studying the catalytic mechanisms of metalloenzymes. He then grew a profound appreciation for FT EPR and expanded his EPR toolbox for his research endeavors. After completing his Ph.D., Alvaro joined Bruker in January of 2023 working as an Applications Scientist.
