Sharon Elizabeth Marie Ashbrook (born 26 January 1975) is a Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. Her research is focused on the application of multinuclear solid-state NMR spectroscopy techniques as well as the combination of these techniques with first-principles calculations to investigate structure, order and dynamics of solid state materials. Other areas of interest include microporous framework materials, high pressure minerals and the encapsulation of nuclear waste with ceramics. Source: Wikipedia (en)
