      I learned about the concepts behind XPS and how to analyse XPS data from lithium-layered porous tungsten samples to evaluate radiation protection. I reviewed literature regard XPS spectra of relevant elements and compounds for peak fitting of experimental data. The analysis was done with CasaXPS. I also communicated an improved experimental design that would validate earlier results to the research team.
