In this webinar, EMSL materials scientist Shuttha Shutthanandan will provide an overview of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a widely used surface analysis technique, and will explain how EMSL's new XPS high-throughput soil analyzer can accelerate elemental soil interrogations. EMSL user Catherine Pettinger from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will demonstrate how she used the high-throughput soil analyzer for her research. Ajay Karakoti, a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory materials scientist, will discuss how to leverage artificial intelligence/machine learning tools for XPS surface analysis capabilities.
