The doubt solving sessions were an added advantage for the participants where we were able to ask the individual problems faced during our refinement calculations. Overall the friendly and active nature of the tutors and the flexibility provided by the organisers during the workshop made it a hugh success. Rushikesh Pokar The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda All sessions were really informative as well as engaging. All the knowledge gained during this workshop related to Reitveld refinemet of XRD data using Fullprof/Powder cell/Jana software was really helpful for in depth structural analysis of fabricated materials with much precision. Dr. Bijaylaxmi BiswalAssistant professor, Odisha University of Technology and Research Thank you SIAS research centre, Dr. Pradeep Reddy, Dr. Rashid sir and Dr. Shivani Sharma for this efficient workshop. I like to thank especially Dr. Shivani ma’am for magnetic structure refinement part as it’s impossible to get tutorials for magnetic structure refinement anywhere. This was truly useful. Manjunatha TBangalore University Thank you to the SIAS committee and esteemed lecturers/trainers for the enlightening sessions. Your expertise and in-depth explanations have provided us with a comprehensive understanding of the Rietveld refinement techniques, covering all essential aspects. Your teaching approach has instilled confidence in us, enabling us to refine our knowledge and skills effectively. ARRAB ALI MAZBennett University I attended the workshop on Rietveld refinement, which was really informative. Learnt each and every parameters in the refinement from speakers, and they were very enthusiastic to clear our doubts as well whenever we were asking. JOEL BASKAR BIIT Madras This workshop was so knowledgeable. All classes happed in time and also teachers delivered their best. Vaibhav Pratap SinghIIT Indore
