Mastering EIS
Mastering Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
A 4 Day Intensive Workshop 22 – 26 June
Gamry Instruments Europe – Italy.
This hands-on workshop covers the full spectrum of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy applications.
This course is intended for scientists of myriad backgrounds who are interested in unleashing the power of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in their respective fields. Suitable for academics as well as industrial researchers, this course will help you use EIS properly with theoretical instruction in addition to hands-on experiments.
Over four days, you will start with the fundamentals of EIS and fitting software (Day 1), then explore batteries and practical battery measurements (Day 2), followed by corrosion mechanisms and impedance experiments (Day 3), and conclude with porous electrode modeling and an interactive roundtable/Q&A session (Day 4).
Why Attend:
- Hands-on experiments to master EIS applications
- Learn to interpret and fit complex impedance data
- Apply EIS to real-world problems in batteries, corrosion, and materials
- Interactive sessions with leading experts in EIS

Dr. Burak Ülgüt - Associate Professor of Chemistry at Bilkent University
Dr. Burak Ülgüt obtained his BS in Chemistry from Bilkent University in 2002. He then got a PhD on Electrochemistry with Prof. Héctor D. Abruña in 2007 from the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Cornell University. During his PhD, he worked on various electrochemical analyses of various molecular platforms for electron transfer. During his postdoc at Cambridge University in England in the group of Prof. Sir Richard Friend. Between 2008 and 2014, he worked in various roles at Gamry Instruments. While at Gamry, he worked on developing various aspects of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, both on the measurement and on the data analysis side. After a yearlong stay at İnci Akü working on lead-acid batteries, he joined Bilkent University Chemistry Department as an Assistant Professor in September of 2015. He is currently an Associate Professor in the same department.
His research as an academic involves developing various electrochemical measurement and modeling methods. Though the samples are mostly geared towards electrochemical energy storage, the methods developed are applicable to other devices that can be probed by AC and DC electrical excitations. The methods developed are developing towards detection and improving of safety and performance issues of batteries.
Dr. Roberto Spotorno - Associate Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Genoa
Dr. Roberto Spotorno is an Associate Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Genoa. His research covers metallurgy and electrochemistry, with a strong focus on applying Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to investigate corrosion processes and optimize materials for energy-related applications. His corrosion research includes studies on microbial corrosion, corrosion of additively manufactured materials, the correlation between microstructure and corrosion resistance, and the effects of protective coatings. He also works on high-temperature oxidation and the development of protective coatings for harsh thermal environments. His work also involves applying EIS to corrosion diagnostics of both modern alloys and metal artifacts of historical and cultural heritage interest, for which he has developed a non-invasive electrochemical probe for localized measurements.
Dr. Miran Gaberšček - Professor of Materials Science National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana
Dr. Miran Gaberšček, Professor of Materials Science, is Head of the Department of Materials Chemistry at the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Since 2003, he has also worked at the University of Ljubljana, where he holds a full professorship in materials science. Prof. Gaberšček's main research field is novel electrochemical systems for energy storage and conversion, specifically batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, and corrosion electrochemistry. He is particularly noted for his work on the complex charge transport and reaction mechanisms in porous electrodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has been the central tool in these investigations. Prof. Gaberšček has published about 300 articles in international journals (with over 15,000 citations), some in prestigious journals such as Nature Materials, Angewandte Chemie, Advanced Materials, and others.
Dr. Jacob Ketter - Instrumentation Specialist at Gamry Instruments
Dr. Ketter received his B.S. Chemistry degree from the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Recommended by Dr. Cindy Larive, he attended graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his PhD in chemistry under the direction of Dr. Mark Wightman. He did a postdoctoral appointment at Northwestern University in the laboratory of Dr. Chad Mirkin.
Jacob joined Gamry in 2008 as an instrumentation chemist. Among his activities and responsibilities with Gamry, he has given presentations, provided instruction at short courses, and provided customer training covering many electrochemical applications and techniques, particularly EIS. He has dedicated a significant portion of his career to educating researchers on the nuances of experimental design and hardware optimization. His extensive background allows him to translate the complex theoretical concepts in EIS into practical solutions for users facing difficult impedance measurement challenges.
