September Virtual Short Course

Fundamentals of Electrochemistry: Basic Theory and Thermodynamic Methods
Sunday, September 19, and Monday, September 20, 2021
1200h-1500h ET
James Noël, Instructor

Live instruction by Prof. Noël takes place online for three hours a day, for two days (total of six hours).

This course provides a general, basic foundation of electrochemistry which is used to develop the theory and experimental approaches to electrochemical problems of a thermodynamic nature. It complements a sister course, “Fundamentals of Electrochemistry: Basic Theory and Kinetic Methods,” taught by the same instructor at the 240th ECS Meeting (see below).

Dr. Noël joined the University of Western Ontario, Canada, in 1998 as a research scientist and became an assistant professor of chemistry in 2016. He worked on corrosion issues in the nuclear industry while employed by Ontario Hydro Research and later Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. Dr. Noël is an active participant in public science outreach activities, developing and presenting chemistry demonstrations for potential young scientists from preschool to high school.
