2017 Raman Workshop
3-day workshop given by PhDs for PhDs working in the field of Raman Spectroscopy. After a successfull launch of this workshop in 2016, we were happy continue with a second edition of this format in summer 2017.
Dear participants,
It is our great pleasure to have you to join us for the 2017 Raman Microscopy Workshop. We hope you have been enjoying the presentations and demonstrations during these three days. This year we have about 60 participants and 14 speakers from both academia and industry. Here we would like to thank all of the speakers again for your kind contribution and sharing us with your cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art products. We would also like to thank all participants for your active participation. Hope we will meet each other soon!

Impressions Raman Microscopy Workshop 2017
Raman Microscopy - A strong tool for chemical imaging.
6-8 June 2017
ETH Zurich, Hönggerberg Campus, HCI J 7
The Raman Microscopy Workshop 2017 at ETH Zurich was intended to continue the success in 2016 (link to 2016 Raman Microscopy Workshop). With 14 international expert speakers and 61 participants from ETH Zurich, EPFL, PSI and Empa, this year's workshop fullfilled its aim to maintain a network of active researchers working with Raman Spectroscopy in Switzerland and to gain further insights into the various techniques and applications in science and engineering.
In the field of materials research and characterization, Raman Spectroscopy, with its various specifications like near field techniques (SERS, TERS) and in combination with non-chemical characterization methods (SEM, AFM) finds various applications.
Bringing together researchers from different groups and with different backgrounds in this broad and diverse field will strengthen collaborative research and exchange of ideas.
This workshop featured hands-on sessions, with a practical guidance and time for detailed questions concerning measurement setups. A special focus was put on applications of Raman Microscopy in material and bio-sciences, and the workshop aimed to facilitate the exchange of ideas between participants.
This workshop was designed for PhD students and researchers who actively use Raman Spectroscopy to address a scientific problem.
Main topics addressed and key:
- Confocal Raman Spectroscopy: principles and its microscopy application
- Raman Spectroscopy/Microscopy for analysis of emerging materials (solar cells, Li-ion batteries, nanomaterials, and biomaterials)
- Raman Spectroscopy/Microscopy instruments: historical development and state of the art
- Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: principles, opportunities, and challenges
Organizing Team:
Jakub Jagielski, Tian Tian & Dr. Wen-Yueh Yu (Lab for Interface and Surface Engineering of Nanomaterials)
