Message from SPANS Chair, Dr. Hossam A.Gabbar, Ontario Tech University, Canada
Professor in the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science, and cross appointed in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, UOIT welcomes all attendees at SPANS.
IEEE NPSS (Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society), Toronto, has been active in organizing workshops in plasma and nuclear systems since its establishment.
The recent workshop was on Real Time Measurement, Instrumentation, and Control (RTMIC). This workshop has been extended with the collaboration with CNS-Fusion Energy and Accelerator Science and Technology Division (CNS-FEASTD), and the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) – Plasma Physics Division to organize SPANS (Symposium on Plasma and Nuclear Systems).
SPANS provides a unique opportunity for fruitful discussions and collaboration between industries and academia. In addition, it provides great opportunities for students to present their work and have closer discussions with researchers, scientists, and professionals from industries to add great values to their skills and awareness of real industrial projects.
This symposium is providing forum for researchers from academia and industry to
present and discuss latest research innovations in nuclear and plasma systems.
SPANS will provide attendees with state-of-the-art research and technologies and
engage in active discussions with industry. Also it will provide industry with
opportunities to promote their products and business cases. Attendees from
regulators and standards will engage in fruitful discussions on how R&D is
linked with regulations and standards.
