Goals:
Attendees of CV Boot Camp will…
- Gain proficiency in both theoretical and practical cyclic voltammetry techniques
- Learn common mistakes when performing voltammetry and how to troubleshoot
- Learn advanced electroanalytical techniques related to CV such as rotating disc voltammetry and coupled chemical reactions.
Is CV Boot Camp right for me?
CV Boot Camp is designed for anyone seeking to learn the theory and practical aspects behind cyclic voltammetry, with a focus on using cyclic voltammetry to study freely diffusing molecular analytes. We welcome all participants– students (undergraduate and graduate), postdocs, faculty, and industry scientists. Participation is limited to 24 students.
Workshop History:
CV Boot Camp was first held in 2019, jointly organized by the University of North Carolina (Prof. Jillian Dempsey & Prof. Jeffrey Dick) and Pine Research Instrumentation (Dr. Frank Dalton, Dr. Tim Paschkewitz, Dr. Alex Peroff, and Dr. Neil Spinner). In it’s inaugural year, the workshop ran for two days and was available to graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate students at the University of North Carolina. 16 participants from UNC attended in the inaugural year. Workshops were not held in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In 2022, the second CV Boot Camp was held organized by Prof. Jillian Dempsey (UNC), Prof. Megan Jackson (UNC), and Dr. Alex Peroff. The workshop was expanded to three days and it welcomed 24 participants from across the United States. In 2023, 26 participants convened in Chapel Hill for the 3rd annual CV Boot Camp.
Cost:
CV Boot Camp has a nominal registration fee that covers the cost of materials, safety equipment, the course packet, and lunch each day. The 2024 registration fee will be announced soon.
