ECS Opens Registration for a Short Course on "Advanced Impedance Spectroscopy" presented by Recognized Expert Mark E. Orazem
ECS invites chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and engineers with some experience and an interest in applying electrochemical impedance techniques to study a broad variety of electrochemical processes to this full-day course, hosted at ECS's bi-annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
Presented by Mark E. Orazem, an acknowledged authority on impedance spectroscopy, this comprehensive seminar will cover the type of information that can be extracted from impedance measurements, including the limitations of the technique, proper selection of experimental parameters, the types of errors expected in impedance measurements, and methods to access the importance of these errors to reduce their magnitude, use of the Kramers-Kronig relations as a tool for evaluating impedance data, use of regression techniques and selection of weighting strategies, application of electrical circuit analogues, development of mathematical models for interpretation of impedance spectra, applications to different systems including corrosion, fuel cells, characterization of electronic materials, transport through membranes such as skin, and motivation for using impedance spectroscopy.
This course is the second in a two course sequence offered at alternating ECS meetings by Dr. Orazem and provides a summary of the material presented in the "Basic Impedance Spectroscopy" course and then adds model development based on proposed reaction mechanisms, statistical analysis of impedance data, and regression analysis. Dr. Orazem is a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society and serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of the Electrochemical Society, President of the International Society of Electrochemistry, and recipient of numerous awards. He has over 150 refereed publications and has co-authored, with Bernard Tribollet of the CNRS in Paris, a textbook on the subject Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, (John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, New Jersey, 2008).
Register today-space is limited! Your registration fee covers the one-day course, all text materials, continental breakfast, luncheon, and refreshment breaks. ECS member and student discounts are available. For more information visit http://www.electrochem.org/education/short_courses/220/220_sc1_eis.htm.
