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.
