Meet Professor Louis Bouchard
Congratulations to our newly tenured faculty, Professor Bouchard.
Professor Bouchard obtained a bachelor's degree in physics and business management from McGill University in Montréal, Canada, a Master's degree in medical biophysics from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Princeton University. His doctoral dissertation explores the use of multiple quantum coherence and long-range dipolar interactions in condensed matter to characterize heterogeneous material microstructure.
During his stay in the laboratory of Prof. Alex Pines at the University of California, Berkeley, he developed novel approaches and methodologies to portable, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), microfluidics and hyperpolarization methods to the study of chemical reactions. He joined the UCLA faculty during the summer of 2008 to pursue research in physical chemistry.
