About

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.

Topics Covered

Cyclic Voltammetry, Fundamental Electrochemistry, Potentiostat Operation, Practical Aspects of Electrochemistry, Spectroelectrochemistry

Kristin Johnson-Finn, Ph.D.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Assistant Professor

Research in the Johnson-Finn laboratory bridges the divide between organic chemistry and geology, which is a useful perspective when pursuing the fate of organic compounds in geologic settings, astrobiology biosignatures, questions of origins of life and more! By bringing a chemist’s perspective, our understanding of observations from these systems can expand beyond what has been accomplished before. The interdisciplinary approach opens pathways to new information that we cannot pursue otherwise and allows collaboration with a diverse variety of different researchers. Because of the fundamental nature of this research, it has many applications.
