SEARCHEigenvector University Asia 2026
March 24, 2026 - March 27, 2026
Eigenvector Research, Inc. is pleased to offer its premier EigenU Asia in Singapore, Asia’s premier business hub. We will be staying at the beautiful JW Marriott Singapore South Beach. We will present four days of courses on chemical data science, also known as chemometrics and machine learning.
EigenU Asia 2026 will span four days and will offer our two-day Basic Chemometrics series followed by two days of specialty and advanced topics.

Target Audience
Eigenvector University Asia is aimed at chemists, biologists and other life-scientists and engineers who want to be able to analyze their own laboratory, experimental or process data, develop their own data models or develop instruments that produce analytical data. It is especially well suited for those with an interest in process analytical technology (PAT) in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and process industries. The course serves individuals with a need for exploratory data analysis, development of predictive models such as analytical instrument calibrations, soft sensor models, multivariate statistical process control (MSPC), fault detection and sample classification. No prior knowledge is required for this course.
Course Description & Outline
The Tuesday-Wednesday block of EigenU Asia will cover the fundamentals of many commonly used chemometric and machine learning methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression. Emphasis will be on applying these techniques in the chemical process and laboratory environment for pattern recognition, instrument calibration, and sample classification. The course material is drawn from our popular Eigenvector University Series. The class begins with a brief review of Linear Algebra for Chemometricians, and moves quickly into Chemometrics I:PCA and then on to Chemometrics II: Regression and PLS. Aspects of Advanced Preprocessing methods will also be covered.
On Thursday and Friday we are offering a selection of advanced topics in chemical data science. We will begin with Clustering and Classification which covers methods for samples classification such as Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) and SIMCA. That will be followed by Variable Selection which covers how to optimize models via feature selection. Hierarchical and Optimized Models discusses how to compare and optimize calibration models and generate them with our Diviner Semi-Auto Machine Learning tool for efficient model development. The advanced topics section ends with a full day devoted to Non-linear Methods for Calibration and Classification.
Participants must bring their own laptops with current versions (9.5 or later) of Solo or PLS_Toolbox (and MATLAB) installed. Demo copies will work just fine. Users with Eigenvector accounts can download free demos. If you don’t have an account, start by creating one. If you cannot provide your own computer, please contact us and we will try to arrange one for you, rental fees may apply.
Eigenvector University Asia will include the following modules from our annual Eigenvector University. Click on each title for more detailed information about the module.

About the Instructors
The courses will be led by Eigenvector President Barry M. Wise who will be joined by Eigenvector Vice-president Neal B. Gallagher. Wise and Gallagher both hold doctorates in Chemical Engineering. Dr. Wise is the creator of PLS_Toolbox and co-founder of Eigenvector Research with Dr. Gallagher. Each spring Wise and Gallagher organize and teach at Eigenvector University, the most comprehensive offering of chemometrics classes in the world. Wise is the recipient of the EAS Award for Achievements in Chemometrics and the Herman Wold medal.
