  Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has outstanding potential as a non-destructive technique to study a broad range of specimens. It ranges from quantum objects like single spins over macromolecules to living organisms. Although being one of the most powerful spectroscopic techniques, NMR has been suffering from its low sensitivity ever since. Ten years ago, dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) revolutionized the field by bringing nuclear spins into a so-called hyperpolarized state, thereby increasing NMR’s sensitivity by more than four orders of magnitude. My research concentrates on the development of novel methods for NMR of hyperpolarized nuclei in combination with the numerical optimization of radiofrequency (RF) pulses by optimal control theory. Major progress of my work is a promising technique for quantitative characterization of tumor necrosis and a method for mea- surements of heteronuclear chemical shift correlations within a single scan.
