Lowell D. Kispert (1940–2026): A 40-Year Odyssey in Carotenoid EPR Spectroscopy
In memory of Prof. Lowell D. Kispert (June 9, 1940– February 8, 2026), his transformative contributions to the field of carotenoid radicals are recognized here. Although Prof. Kispert had been a pioneer in studying organic radicals with EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) since 1960s, his first major carotenoid-focused study entitled “Carotenoid cation radicals: electrochemical, optical, and EPR study” appeared…
