Testimonials
“I attended a 3 day J. A. Woollam CompleteEASE Software Training Course 2023 and workshop in the University of Southampton. The event was well planned and organised and it was a a huge success and definitely this achievement is only one of many the future will bring.
It was very clear that a lot of thinking and planning went into organising caterers, location etc- Thank you so much Angela Carslake and Shayz Ikram, we deeply enjoyed it! Even months before, we got all the updates and information regarding what to expect and how to install the software. The workshop introduction by James Hilfiker gave me a deep understanding about what is happening inside the ellipsometer can be used to determine many parameters in addition to thickness. The team spirit was amazing, and they taught us very clearly how to model different materials based on transparent or absorbing using plenty of examples. Thank you so so much!”
Aveena Vhargese, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of St. Andrews
“Regarding the training course, it provided step-by-step guidance on how to best leverage spectroscopic ellipsometry for sample characterisation (measurement and analysis), using J.A. Woollam’s CompleteEASE software. The course addressed how to use CompleteEASE, through a comprehensive introduction, as well as how to model different types of materials (transparent, absorbing, semi-absorbing and ultra-thin films) and how to characterise multiple samples concurrently (model multiple datasets), multi-point data mapping and model dynamic data (time series data).
I can confidently recommend this event to anyone seeking to improve their expertise in materials characterisation, in particular spectroscopic ellipsometry. It accomplishes this by delivering detailed and thorough content, linking measurement, modelling and analysis, providing its users with a better understanding of its data, and in turn, of the materials being characterised.”

“QDUKI and Woollam have worked together for over 25 years now and these events are always productive, fun and insightful – getting feedback from the users helps us shape the developments we make in the future. We look forward to meeting you at future events.”
