Mei Hong, Professor and the first John D. Corbett Professor of Chemistry, received her B.A. degree in 1992 from Mount Holyoke College and her Ph.D. in 1996 from the University of California at Berkeley. Following one year of research as an NIH postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she was a Research Professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. In 1999, she joined the faculty at Iowa State University. Her research centers on the development and application of solid-state NMR spectroscopy to investigate the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins and fibrous proteins. She serves on the organizing committees of the Experimental NMR Conference and the Rocky Mountain Conference on Analytical Chemistry, and on the editorial board of the Journal of Magnetic Resonance.
