Overview of Event
Thursday 26th and Friday 27th August
Are you a new or current user of the XAS beamline?
Would you like to know what the new MEX beamline (coming 2022) could do for you?
We have the workshop for you!
Program:
Day 1
On the first day, talks from beamline scientists and experts in the field will highlight the capabilities of the XAS and MEX beamlines, discuss how to get the most out of beamtime, and present case studies illustrating how these techniques can help solve questions in earth, biological and chemical sciences.
Day 2
Day two will feature a hands-on tutorial in XANES data analysis led by Dr. Ryo Sekine of the University of the Sunshine Coast. Opportunities will be available to discuss common data issues with beamline scientists. Lectures and tutorials will be presented by:
Presentations
Dr Niloofar Karimian, Southern Cross University
Assoc. Prof. Neeraj Sharma, University of New South Wales
Developing better energy storage materials and devices with XAS
Professor Peter Kopittke, University of Queensland
