A hands-on workshop for UK and international users of IR hyperspectral imaging/microscopy, THz spectroscopy and IR nanospectroscopy
This training course is a collaboration between Diamond Light Source (MIRIAM beamline B22), SOLEIL Synchrotron (SMIS beamline) and the University of Ljubljana. It aims to promote the QUASAR open-source software among the UK and international scientific research community.
Across three days, the hands-on workshop will help current, prospective, and potential users working on a wide spectrum of IR applications, including:
Biology and Medical imaging
Materials and Engineering microanalysis
Physical and Chemical Sciences
Cultural Heritage and Archaeology
Geology and Space Science
Nanoscience and Metamaterials
The goal is to provide comprehensive training on the use of QUASAR through interactive tutorials and real-world examples, drawn from IR microscopy (or Raman microspectroscopy) and imaging datasets — now including IR nanospectroscopy.
QUASAR is a user-friendly open-source toolbox based on the Orange data analysis suite. It enables researchers from diverse disciplines to explore their data more effectively through:
Interactive spectral analysis and hyperspectral visualisation
Supervised and unsupervised data classification
Advanced machine learning and AI on data
Multiple datasets handling in intuitive workflows
Applications are now closed. In the case of oversubscription there will be a limit on attendees per organisation. Participants will be selected on a fair distribution basis across the research groups, giving priority to early career scientists.
If your application is successful, there will be a £175 fee to attend the event. Accommodation, meals and refreshments will be provided throughout the event and will be included in the fee. Applicants will be required to cover the cost of their transport to and from Diamond. We will provide more information on accommodation and travel to successful applicants once confirmed.
