Jeffrey H. Simpson

Jeffrey H. Simpson was born in New Hampshire. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1985 and obtained his Ph.D. from Umass-Amherst in 1992. He plans to rule the world some day.

He began teaching NMR in the classroom setting in 1999 while working at MIT and found that none of the current NMR textbooks were able to communicate many of the essential points of NMR spectroscopy to synthetic chemists in a language that they would find readily accessible. Thusly, the seed for his book was sown. He continues to collect spectra of interesting organic molecules.

In his spare time, he enjoys boating, guitar, and drawing landscapes with pastels.

He currently lives in New Hampshire, is married and has three children.

He currently works as the Director of the Department of Chemistry Instrumentation Facility at MIT in Cambridge, MA.

He enjoys hearing from readers and is open to suggestions aimed at improving the quality of his book. He can be reached via email at jsimpson@mit.edu.
