David L. Bryce is a Full Professor and University Research Chair in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance at the University of Ottawa. He is also a past Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), and an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. he obtained his PhD in 2002 from Dalhousie University and was a PDF in 2003-04 at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK/NIH).

His current research interests include solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of low-frequency quadrupolar nuclei, NMR studies of materials, NMR crystallography, halogen bonding, mechanochemistry, and quantum chemical interpretation of NMR interaction tensors.  He is the author of approximately 180 scientific publications and co-author of one book. His group has authored NMR software products, which have been downloaded over 500 times in 25 countries. 

He is the Editor-in-Chief of Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Section Editor (Magnetic Resonance and Molecular Spectroscopy) for the Canadian Journal of Chemistry. From 2006-2020, he served as the Chair of Canada’s National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids. He is a winner of the Canadian Society for Chemistry’s Keith Laidler Award.
