NYU X-Ray Diffraction Workshop
Department of Chemistry, New York University
June 29 - 30, 2016

The Workshop will span two days at New York University, with lectures and hands-on training on the single crystal and powder diffraction. The Workshop will include lectures from various academic, government, and industrial organizations. Faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and industrial scientists are invited to register. Attendees are encouraged to bring samples of interest to the workshop for the hands-on training Master Class, and scientific problems to the Round-Table Discussion.

Aims
