Richard Robert Ernst (14 August 1933 – 4 June 2021) was a Swiss physical chemist.[1] He was born in Winterthur, Switzerland. Ernst won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1991 for his works on the creation of Fourier transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy[2] while at Varian Associates in Palo Alto, California.[3][4][5][6][7]

Ernst was married to Magdalena until his death.[8] Together, they had three children.

Ernst died on 4 June 2021 in Winterthur at the age of 87.[8]
