Nino Wili

The 2025 John-Weil Young Investigator Award of the International EPR (ESR) Society is awarded to Dr. Nino Wili for his contributions to theory and instrumentation in the field of EPR. In particular, the IEPRS recognizes his studies that seamlessly integrate advanced concepts in pulsed EPR and in dynamic nuclear polarization. These studies have provided new insight into spin dynamics in systems where multiple nuclear spins are hyperfine-coupled to an electron spin. Further, they have cross-fertilized the field of EPR spectroscopy with modern concepts from the field of solid-state NMR. By demonstrating reverse polarization transfer from nuclear to electron spins, Dr. Wili has opened a new field of research.
