This year the theme of our summer school is materials science. The school is intended for researchers in solid state chemistry and physics who wish to add synchrotron techniques to their research skill set. Practical sessions involve seven CLS beamlines, several experimental techniques, and the full spectrum of synchrotron light, from the infrared to hard X-rays. The school will feature:
- • Practical sessions include the following techniques:
- EXAFS / XANES
◦ Photoemission / PEEM
◦ Infrared Spectromicroscopy
◦ Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)
◦ Resonant Scattering
◦ X-ray Microprobe
- EXAFS / XANES
- Confirmed speakers to date:
- G. Michael Bancroft, Professor Emeritus, University of Western Ontario, former CLS Executive Director
- Josef Hormes, CLS Executive Director
- T.K. Sham, Canada Research Chair, University of Western Ontario
- Andrew Grosvenor, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, University of Saskatchewan
- David C. Hawthorn, Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Waterloo
- Robert Blyth, Assistant Director of Research, CLS
- Shelly Kelly, UOP LLC, A Honeywell Company
- An insider’s view of the CLS peer review process with hints and tips on writing a killer proposal
- Opportunities for informal discussion with CLS scientists about the potential of synchrotron techniques to help you with your research
- Ample opportunity for socializing and networking
No prior experience with synchrotron techniques is assumed or required. Spaces in this school are limited apply online. The school fee of $450 includes tuition, resources, lunch daily and several evening meals. For further information please contact: summerschool@lightsource.ca or 306-657-3525
Early application ends May 31st; you will be contacted once this early application deadline has passed. Applications will remain open until all spaces are filled.
