Trinity College, Dublin
27th October, 2026
We are celebrating 26 years of Spectroscopic Ellipsometry workshops with our partners, J.A. Woollam.
This free of charge workshop is aimed at both experienced ellipsometry users as well as people new to ellipsometry. The format of the workshop includes an introduction, fundamentals of ellipsometric data analysis, and an overview of ellipsometric applications in both research and production. New emerging applications are highlighted. Our venue this year is The School of Physics, SNIAM Lecture Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin.
Application engineers from J.A. Woollam will give talks on the following topics:
- Theory
- Applications
- Products

Host
Christopher M. Smith M.Sc. M.Inst.P.
Christopher Smith is a Senior Experimental Officer in the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin. He has extensive experience in ellipsometry and leads the Optical Analysis Laboratory. His work centres on thin films and nanostructured materials, including the modelling of multilayer and nanolaminate systems, with particular interest in transparent conducting oxides and transition metal oxides. He has significant experience with the Woollam M-2000 Ellipsometer platform and advanced data analysis using CompleteEASE. His current PhD research focuses on functional laminate structures, linking optical response to effective properties driven by confinement and interfacial effects.

Testimonials
“Excellent introduction to SE”
Chris Morgans, Swansea University
“This week I had this chance to attend Ellipsometry workshop in Manchester University held by J.A. Woollam ‘Industry leading Ellipsometer for thin film characterisation’. It was great experience to learn more about equipment, meet experts in this field and get to know new techniques for modelling thin film thickness. Special thanks to Dr. Shayz Ikram and Angela Carslake for organising this wonderful event.
