Abstract: Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has become an increasingly popular tool for enhancing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals and the continued development of quantum sensing techniques.  Given the broad application of magnetic resonance across many fields of science, technology and medicine, the signal improvements offered by DNP can quickly be translated to advancing capabilities in these other fields. In this talk, I will discuss my contributions to the study of DNP of carbon-13 spins in diamond powder at room temperature.  I will describe the experimental setup for microwave-induced DNP experiments.  I will discuss our characterization of the frequency dependence of our DNP spectrum, both with constant wave irradiation and modulated wave irradiation.  I will also discuss the dependence of the DNP enhancements on thermal signal variations.  Finally, I will show the extent to which we have been able to experimentally control the shape of our DNP spectrum.
