Optional Tours/Events

Two technical tours as well as DEIS summer school will be provided. Application for technical tours can be done through the registration system which will be released soon.
Young researchers who are interested in DEIS summer school is ought to directly contact to Dr. Peter Morshuis of Solid Dielectric Solutions. TC-DEI of IEEJ technically sponsors this shool event.

Technical tour #1: Hamamatsu Photonics

Hamamatsu Photonics is a Japanese manufacturer especially famous for optical sensors including photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and light sources. The tour will go to Toyooka Factory which has Electron Tube Division for PMT produce. PMTs are common devices for engineering and scientific use, but it the one made in this factory is especially famous for the special usage design for the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector facility at the University of Tokyo where 2015 Nobel Prize Laureate Takaaki Kajita conducted his research.

Technical tour #2: Honda Electronics and TUT Hozumi Lab.

Honda Electronics has developped ultrasonic technology since the release of the world-first transistor fishfinder in 1956. Their recent products varies in several industrial field from the factory usage to marine, medical, and ceramics field.
Prof. Hozumi is honolory chair of ISEIM 2017, and his laboratory in Toyohashi University of Technology develops new measurement techniques based on electrical engineering, and proposes applications to electrical and medical field. They design and assemble measurement equipments. Information processes like signal processing and image processing are carried out as well.
The tour also goes to Futagawa-syuku Honjin Museum. Futagawa-syuku was the thirty-third of the fifty-three stations of the Tokaido, which was one of the most important of the routes in Edo era to connect Kyoto and Tokyo. This station town with the main street of about 1.3 km long recorded 1289 population in this era, thanks to the existence of an officially appointed inn called Honjin for the feudal lords (Daimyo). Even today structure of ancient town and some old houses can still be seen along this section of the road.

IEEE DEIS summer school (three days)

July 27th: Conference venue and some other informattion have been changed. Check the detail on the latest leaflet.

To promote scientific debate between junior researchers in the field of electrical insulation and dielectrics, IEEE DEIS in collaboration with IEE Japan organize the 3rd Summer School on Dielectric Interfaces. In the quiet seaside location of Cape Irago, not far from Toyohashi, a group of 40 junior researchers / PhD students will take part in a 3-day brainstorm on three related hot topics in dielectrics research. For the September 2017 Summer School, the topics are all related to Dielectric Interfaces:

If you want to apply for the 2017 Summer School, please send an application letter before May July (modified) 1, 2017 to Dr. Peter Morshuis. We will evaluate the application forms and inform you about acceptance within two weeks after we have received your application. The cost of participation is separated from ISEIM, because this event is organized by IEEE DEIS.
