A Pioneer in Electrostatic Processes [History]

Abstract

As we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary, in 2015, of the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) within the IEEE organization, it is significant to note that this is also the 50th anniversary of Ion Inculet join-ing the Electrical Group of the Faculty of Engineering Science at the University of Western Ontario. During this 50-year period, Inculet and his colleagues have played a major role in supporting and contributing to the success of the Electrostatics Processes Committee (EPC) annual meetings. Through these activities, four individuals from the faculty at the University of Western Ontario (Western), Prof. Inculet, Prof. G.S. Peter Castle, Prof. William D. Greason, and Prof. K. Adamiak, were elevated to the status of IEEE Fellow. It may be of interest to recall how this came about.
