This workshop is designed for researchers, students, and professionals looking to strengthen their understanding of XPS principles, instrumentation, and data interpretation. Participants will gain insights into the physics behind photoemission, the working components of an XPS instrument, and methods for elemental and chemical state analysis. Each session is carefully structured to combine theoretical background with practical approaches, including live demonstrations of real data analysis. A dedicated session is reserved for participants to analyze their own datasets or provided examples under expert guidance. Target Audience Students, Researchers and faculty members of chemistry, physics and material science Key Topics: XPS Spectra Analysis: Elemental Identification & Quantification Applications of XPS in Modern Research: Live Data analysis using XPS in nanomaterials, catalysts, semiconductors, and thin films Features Real-time XPS data analysis using case studies from nanomaterials, catalysts, semiconductors, and thin films. Dedicated session for participants to analyze their own data or sample datasets with guided support. Recording for Future Referenece All live sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for future reference and continued learning. Course Completion Certificate At the end of the workshop, participants will receive an e-certificate of completion.
