Instructor

The courses are being taught by John T. Grant, who has over 40 years experience in surface analysis, and who has been teaching such courses for many years. He had been a Distinguished Research Scientist at the University of Dayton for over 30 years. He is now a consultant in surface analysis. He is co-editor of the book: Surface Analysis by Auger and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

Daily Schedule

These online courses will run from 9.00am until 5.00pm each day (Eastern time US), with a 10 min break every hour and an hour break at lunchtime. This is to accommodate participants from the US mainland and from Europe as best I can.
