ASEAN Workshop on X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy – AWX2016

Dr. Bruce Ravel from National Institute of Standards and Technology

               The ASEAN Workshop on X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (AWX2015) held on during 8^th – 10^th June, 2015 at SLRI. Submission of applications for the workshop is now available online. The goal of the AWX2015 workshop is to provide basic and essential knowledge to well understand XAS techniques and able to fully apply this technique in research problems. Furthermore, AWX2015 will bring together national and international experienced synchrotron users of different scientific backgrounds, particularly new users from the neighboring countries of Thailand to promote XAS research in ASEAN scientific community.

               AWX2015 combine invited talks with extensive tutorials on XAS data analyses (IFEFFIT - Athena and Artemis), given by Dr. Bruce Ravel from National Institute of Standards and Technology, Dr. Shelly Kelly from UOP LLC, A Honeywell Company and Dr. Wantana Klysubun from SLRI. A tour of the synchrotron accelerator complex, synchrotron-radiation beamlines and experimental stations will be organized, allowing participants to take a close look and to discuss potential applications with the beamline scientists.

               All participants are required to bring their own laptops to the workshop for use in workshop tutorial sessions.The number of participants is limited; a maximum of 50 participants will be accepted. Limited financial supports are available for young researchers and graduate students from Thailand (7 grants) and ASEAN countries (7 grants).
