[Ifeffit] Save the date: Nov 1-3, 2017, XAFS short course at BNL

[Anatoly Frenkel]

Dear Colleagues:

Please share with your group members or others, who may be interested, the
following information about the short course on XAFS spectroscopy:

Title: *Data Analysis and Modeling of XANES and EXAFS Spectra. Applications
to Nanomaterials*

Dates: *November 1-3, 2017*

Location: *Brookhaven National Laboratory*



The course will continue the annual tradition of gathering a group of
scientists, active in the field, to share their expertise with those
interested in learning about the use of x-ray spectroscopy methods in their
research.  *The course will be useful for those scientists who are already
familiar with the foundations of XAFS experiment, theory and data analysis,
and seek training in advanced analysis and modeling methods*. The course
will include lectures, software demonstrations, and data analysis sessions.
The emphasis will be on applications of XAFS to nanomaterials but we will
welcome all participants who are interested in modern analysis techniques.
Course instructors will use examples from their research during
presentations. Topics covered will include theory of XANES and EXAFS,
direct modeling methods using Molecular Dynamics simulations and Reverse
Monte Carlo, multiple data set modeling and multiple-scattering analyses.
Other topics will include, but not limited to: chemometrics, bonding
dynamics and transformation kinetics. During the data analysis practicum on
Nov. 3 the course participants will get an opportunity to work with
demonstration examples and/or their research projects with the help of the
course instructors.



The course will be open to 30 participants, selected based on their
application materials.

The course web page will appear on BNL web site in near future, with
instructions how to apply. For any inquiries please contact me.

Best Regards,

Anatoly
