Introductory Workshop on the Theory and Practice of EPR Spectroscopy
The next Workshop will be held in Manchester from 19th to 23rd January 2026
EPR NRF workshop
Not sure if/how Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) can assist your research ? This residential introductory workshop is designed for both novice and experienced researchers, who want to expand their knowledge and gain practical experience in EPR spectroscopy. Experienced staff from the EPSRC National Research Facility for EPR Spectroscopy will guide you through the fundamental principles and applications of Continuous Wave (CW) EPR spectroscopy, as well as data analysis, and interpretation. We also provide a brief overview and demonstration of advanced pulsed EPR techniques.
The workshop structure will be a balance of 50% lectures and 50% hands-on practical sessions. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to operate state-of-the-art EPR instruments and perform a variety of experiments. You will also learn about the latest developments in EPR instrumentation, measurement techniques, and applications.
Due to the hands on nature of the Workshop numbers are limited to 10 students.
When: 19 – 23/01/2026 (usually held bi-annually)
Where: EPSRC National Research Facility for EPR Spectroscopy, Department of Chemistry/Photon Science Institute, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL
Lecturers: Prof. David Collison, Prof. Eric McInnes, Dr Alice Bowen
Instructors: Dr Floriana Tuna, Dr Murali Shanmugam, Mr Adam Brookfield
