Short Courses

Rheological Measurements

Practical Application & Problem Solving

Gain a deep understanding of rheology fundamentals and principles of measurement through lectures by world-leading experts. Work in small groups with commercial rheometers to perform experiments, gaining practical insights and hands-on experience in optimal techniques, data reduction, and interpretation. Focus on real-world applications across polymer solutions/melts, dispersions, gels, foods, and more.

Justification for Management (ROI)

Ensure your staff can deliver accurate, reliable rheological data critical for product stability, shelf-life, and process flow applications. The focus on optimal instrumental techniques and troubleshooting directly translates to reduced costly material failures in manufacturing and faster, more predictable formulation optimization.

Next Course: August 17-20, 2026

The three and a half day course will include lecture style instruction, hands-on laboratory modules, practice in data analysis and experimental planning. There will be ample time for interaction with instructors as well as other course participants.

Machine Learning for Chemical and Materials Engineering

Gain practical, hands-on instruction in ML models, algorithms, and data handling tailored specifically for chemical and materials data. Learn techniques to accelerate discovery and optimization.

Justification (ROI)

Rapidly integrate critical data science skills into your R&D teams. Equip staff to reduce experimental iteration, improve predictive modeling, and save months of lab time.
