Venkata SubbaRao Redrouthu is an Associate Research Scientist working with Dr. Asif Equbal in the Department of Chemistry and the Research Institute's Center for Quantum and Topological Systems at New York University Abu Dhabi. His research focuses on the development of advanced pulsed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) sequences for high-field magnetic resonance and quantum sensing applications.
He earned his PhD from the Department of Chemical Sciences at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali under the supervision of Prof. Ramesh Ramachandran. His doctoral research centered on time-dependent quantum mechanics, integrating Floquet theory and the van Vleck transformation to derive effective Hamiltonians for RF-driven quadrupolar spin systems.
He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research in solid-state NMR at the TIFR Centre for Interdisciplinary Sciences with Prof. P. K. Madhu and Dr. Vipin Agarwal, where he investigated dipolar-coupling driven spin dynamics in RFDR experiments using Bessel-functions. Driven by his interest in interdisciplinary research, he later joined the Magnetic Resonance group of Dr. Guinevere Mathies at the University of Konstanz, playing a key role in the development of the XiX DNP and TPPM DNP pulse sequences.
His work bridges quantum control, magnetic resonance, and high-field DNP, with an emphasis on pushing sensitivity and control toward fundamental limits.
