Workshops

The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Electrochemistry Workshop is a 2-day electrochemistry workshop aimed at providing students with theoretical, practical, and hands on experience with electrochemistry experiments. Days are broken up into lectures in the morning followed by labs in the afternoon. Topics include fundamental electrochemistry, cyclic voltammetry, coupled chemical reactions, and spectroelectrochemistry.

We welcome applicants from all levels – undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty are encouraged to apply. No prior experience with electrochemistry is needed to participate in this workshop. The workshop will take place in the Walker Laboratory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute located in Troy, NY.

The Electrocatalysis Workshop is a 3-day short course at Rutgers University – New Brunswick that will combine exciting lectures and laboratory sessions to give our participants strong foundational training in electrochemistry techniques for the study of homogeneous electrocatalysts.

This workshop is designed to introduce participants to both theoretical and practical aspects of electrochemistry. In addition to covering fundamental concepts, our emphasis will be on the electrochemical analysis of homogeneous molecular species and catalysts using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled-potential electrolysis (CPE). We welcome applicants from all levels – undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty are encouraged to apply. No prior experience with electrochemistry is needed to participate in this workshop.

The inaugural Electrocatalysis Workshop will be held on July 27-29, 2026 at Rutgers University – New Brunswick. Both lecture and laboratory activities take place at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology on Busch Campus in Piscataway, NJ.

The 2026 schedule is in development, but below is the 2025 schedule and photos from last year

The Pine/Villanova CV Boot Camp is a 3 day workshop designed to give both graduate, undergraduate, postdocs, and faculty both theoretical and practical hands on experience performing electrochemistry experiments.  During the workshop attendees with attend lectures on, fundamental electrochemistry, cyclic voltammetry, troubleshooting, and publishing and interpreting echem data.  Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to choose between one of 3 different advanced electrochemistry techniques to focus on.  Advanced topics include – UV/Vis spectroelectrochemistry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and differential pulse voltammetry.  

The workshop has a nominal fee to cover food, lab equipment, and administrative expenses.  Optional housing on campus is available for those traveling from out of town for an additional fee.  We accepted 24 applicants each year for the workshop.

• Undergrad/Graduate Student – $100
• Postdoc – $150
• Faculty – $150

After registering for the workshop, you will hear back from us within 1-2 weeks after registration closes to find out whether you’ve been accepted.  Once accepted you will be notified by the workshop host on the next steps in preparation for the workshop.

The Electrochemistry Workshop for CASFER graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty, and industry members during the summer serves a vital purpose in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. In the field of electrified process for nutrient recovery, electrochemistry plays a pivotal role, and providing students with hands-on experience in this field is essential for their academic and professional development. 

The workshop aims to impart practical skills and deepen the understanding of electrochemical processes, allowing scholars to translate classroom concepts into real applications. By engaging in practical experiments, participants will gain insights into the complexities of electrochemical systems and learn how to troubleshoot the most common experiments in the field.
