Fortgeschrittenes Training

In the morning, lecture with theoretical aspects covering the fundamentals of light scattering with a particular emphasis on measurement quality and data interpretation.  

In the afternoon practical part on particle size determination using laser Diffraction and Dynamic Light Scattering. Get to know the basics of the measuring principle and sample preparation. You will have the possibility to test the instruments yourself (PSA 1190 LD) and (Litesizer 500) in small groups and discuss the results with our specialists. You are welcome to bring your own samples.

Qualifications: 

Ideally you already have fundamental knowledge in the basics of the measuring principle (light scattering) and sample preparation.

Topics:

  • Light Scattering Theory
  • Particle/Molecular Size Concepts
  • Laser Diffraction VS Dynamic Light Scattering
  • Data Interpretation
  • Experiments 

 

Dr. David Burnand, Dr. Viola Warter, Dr. Amir Zaim (English)

Dr. David Burnand

David Burnand, born in 1985, studied chemical engineering at the HEIA-FR in Fribourg. Following his Master of Science in Chemistry, he obtained his PhD in colloidal chemistry at the Adolphe Merkle Institute in 2018 for the design and characterization of polymer-coated nanoparticles for biomedical applications. With his extensive background in nanomaterials, David has been working as an application specialist in material characterization and rheological properties at Anton Paar Switzerland since 2022.

Dr. Viola Warter

Dr. Viola Warter, born in 1982, graduated from the University of Heidelberg with a diploma in geosciences in 2010. She then moved to the Royal Holloway University of London to complete her PhD in Geochemistry/Palaeoclimatology (2011 to 2016) with a focus on LA-ICPMS trace element and isotope analysis. After completing her PhD, she worked as a laboratory manager in both geosciences and pharmacy, and returned to active research in geomicrobiology at the University of Tübingen (2017 to 2019).

Dr. Amir Zaim

Dr. Amir Zaim, born in 1983, obtained his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Geneva in 2013 with a focus on synthesis and characterization of rare-earth scaffolds followed by obtaining his Master of Business Administration in 2019 to complement his scientific background with an understanding of market development. Since 2018, Dr. Zaim has joined Anton Paar Switzerland in developing the microwave synthesis and particle characterization instrument portfolio and is eager to share his passion for science and customer relationship to provide potential prospects with specific solution-driven solutions and services.
