Ilya Kuprov is a British physicist whose research focuses on quantum theory of magnetic processes and nuclear magnetic resonance. Kuprov is a professor of physics at the School of Chemistry of the University of Southampton, a deputy editor of Science Advances, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and a Fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance.




Birth and education


Kuprov was born in Polevskoy in what was then the Soviet Union, and raised in Tarko-Sale, a small town near the Siberian Arctic Circle. He completed his undergraduate studies in environmental chemistry at Novosibirsk State University in 2002, and moved to the UK in the same year. In 2005, he received his DPhil degree in physical chemistry from Corpus Christi College, Oxford under the direction of Peter Hore. His doctoral thesis explored chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation of 19F nuclei.




Career


In 2005 Kuprov was elected a Fellow by Examination at Magdalen College, Oxford. In 2009, he received an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship, which he held at the Oxford Supercomputing Centre (University of Oxford). In 2014 he was appointed associate professor at the University of Southampton and later promoted to professor. In 2018, Kuprov joined the editorial board of Science Advances as an associate editor; he became deputy editor in 2021. From 2010 to 2021 he was a committee member and then secretary of the Electron Spin Resonance Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Kuprov has also been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open (the open access branch of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance) since 2019.




Research and education activities


Kuprov's research focuses on theoretical and computational methods in magnetic resonance. As of 2023, his work has produced over 100 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and a monograph on spin dynamics. His collaborative research deals with difficult problems in computational modelling of electromagnetic and spin processes. As a theory and simulation specialist in different teams of researchers, he has co-authored papers on magnetic navigation of migratory birds, spin dynamics in photosynthesis, lanthanide contrast agents for MRI, chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation of amino acids, toroidal spectroscopy of atoms, electron spin resonance problems in structural biology, quantum optimal control theory, and gravitation sensors using atom interferometers.
Kuprov maintains a number of undergraduate and postgraduate online courses in magnetic resonance, computational chemistry, and mathematical methods in chemistry. He is regularly teaching at magnetic resonance summer schools and giving tutorial lectures at magnetic resonance conferences.
