Training

CAMO provides professional training across the United States and Europe. Online workshops and public courses are taught throughout the year, bringing you the practical knowledge necessary to conduct research and interpret analyses on a daily basis. The course are on both Statistical and Multivariate Analysis. This includes hands on training on the The Unscrambler® product. Discussions on Case studies from multiple industrial segments are also supplied.

Public training: Find CAMO course schedules lower down on this page. You can register for the courses by contacting a CAMO representative.

Our courses are inspired from the industrial opportunities offered by chemometrics methods. With a non-mathematical approach, our participants can quickly and safely start using the methods in their own work to optimize, classify or predict products and processes.

In 2004, CAMO courses will take place in Oslo - Norway, Woodbridge - USA, Germany, Paris - France and Utrecht - Holland.

Course concept :

Our courses are addressed to all scientists or engineers who collect and analyze data e.g. within R&D, instrument data, experimentation or process, or anyone confronted to situations where the understanding of multivariable relationships is central.

The course leader will explain the methods and show relevant examples utilizing either The Unscrambler® or The Unscrambler® Designer software packages.

The participants will run practical exercises on the latest version of The Unscrambler® or The Unscrambler® Designer for Windows.

Prior knowledge of CAMO's software is not required to attend our courses. The courses are held in English, German, French, Dutch or Norwegian.

The participants have the possibility to run the exercises on their own laptop computers.
 

COURSE MODULES


Our courses are organized around two main application areas and are based on CAMO's experience in chemometrics since the early 80's.

"INTRODUCTION TO MULTIVARIATE STATISTICS WITH CHEMOMETRICS & SPECTROSCOPIC APPLICATIONS"
(3-day course)
  Dates Offered: October 25, 26, & 27
Location: Camo Smart Education Facility - Woodbridge, NJ

Chemometrics is an important tool for the application of many technologies including Near IR spectroscopy. Near IR spectroscopy has become an important tool for quality control, at line and on line analysis in a variety of industries. This three day class is a hands-on course that will teach participants how to use chemometrics to solve practical problems. The course will assume no previous statistical or chemometrics experience but will accommodate advanced topics for seasoned practitioners as well.

The Instructors:

Dr. Frederick H. Long has been doing analytical spectroscopy professionally for over fifteen years. He established Spectroscopic Solutions in the summer of 2001. Spectroscopic Solutions provides consulting and training in the areas of process analytical technology, spectroscopy, and statistics for regulated and non regulated industries. His firm has done work for numerous international pharmaceutical, consumer health-care companies, and scientific instrumentation suppliers.

Dr. Long has published over forty peer-reviewed publications in all many areas of spectroscopy including Raman and NIR spectroscopy, ultra-fast and non-linear phenomena, and the optics of human tissue. He received his S.B. and S.M. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from Columbia University. This could also be added to our Scientific Board of Advisors Section as well as Fred has joined that.

Dr. Dongsheng Bu is a Chemometrician, Spectroscopy expert and Statistician. He has more than 10 years experience in spectroscopic applications, chemometrics and statistical analysis. He received his BS in Chemical Physics from East China University of Chemical Technology.

Although they complete each other, the Multivariate Analysis course and the Experimental Design course are independent from each other, and can be followed one after the other in no preferred order.

All participants to Multivariate Analysis courses who are not yet registered licensees will receive a free 30-day test installation of latest version of The Unscrambler® to be able to apply the methods right away in their own work.

In addition, all participants will be offered to purchase The Introducer (incl. Prof. Kim Esbensen's book Multivariate Data Analysis in Practice) at a discounted price.
