This course is taught in English for Erasmus and PhD students. New trends and techniques in the fields of atomic and molecular spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are discussed including their applications. Also advanced approaches to sample preparation and preconcentration are presented. Lectures are accompanied by excursions to selected laboratories whenever possible. Practical demonstrations of analytical measurements using state-of-the-art spectrometric instrumentation will be shown. The series of lectures is given by experienced researchers from Czech universities and Czech Academy of Sciences. Basic knowledge of fundamental spectroscopic techniques is expected. Active participation of the students is expected with maximum absence of 20%.
The course starts on Wednesday 21 February 2024. The schedule of lectures and excursions will be specified after agreement regarding the students' time availability during the first week of semester.
