Joint Applied Physics Chapter

The Vancouver Section Joint Applied Physics Chapter serves the members of four distinct IEEE technical societies:

IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS)
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society (IMS)
IEEE Magnetics Society (MS)
IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society (UFFCS)

We also welcome all IEEE members and members of the technical community at our events.

We offer technical talks covering variety of topics that are related to the interests of the member societies.

Any suggestions for speakers, topics, activities, etc. are welcome and will be highly appreciated.

Please contact us with your ideas, suggestions, and requests.

Technical Societies Represented

IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society		The IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society is dedicated to the development and use of electrical and electronic instruments and equipment to measure, monitor and/or record physical phenomena. The fields of interest include metrology, analog and digital electronic instruments, systems and standards for measuring and recording electrical quantities (in both frequency and time domains), instrumentation and transducers for measurement of non-electrical variables, calibration and uncertainty, instruments with automated control and analysis functions, safety instrumentation, and new technology applications.
IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society		The fields of interest of the IEEE NPSS include Nuclear Science and Engineering (including radiation detection and monitoring instrumentation, radiation effects, nuclear biomedical applications, particle accelerators, and instrumentation for nuclear power generation), and Plasma Science and Engineering (including plasma dynamics, thermonuclear fusion, plasma sources, relativistic electron beams, laser plasma interactions, diagnostics, and solid state plasmas). The NPSS sponsors more than seven conferences and four peer reviewed journals.
IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society		The IEEE UFFC Society promotes the advancement of the theory, technology, materials, and applications relating to the generation, transmission, and detection of ultrasonic waves and related phenomena; medical ultrasound, and associated technologies; ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and piezomagnetic materials; frequency generation and control, timing, and time coordination and distribution.
IEEE Magnetics Society		The IEEE Magnetics Society field of interest is the "Treatment of all matters in which the dominant factors are the fundamental developments, design, and certain applications of magnetic devices. This includes consideration of materials and components as used therein, standardization of definitions, nomenclature, symbols, and operating characteristics; and exchange of information as by technical papers, conference sessions, and demonstrations."
