The conference provides an opportunity for specialists from around the world to meet and to discuss ongoing research. Topics of interest to the Conference include: aging; biodielectrics; outdoor insulation; surface flashover; polarization phenomena; measurement techniques; partial discharge measurements; nanodielectrics; flow electrification; charge storage and transport; electrohydrodynamics; high-field effects; charge and field mapping; treeing; prebreakdown and breakdown in solids, liquids, gases, and vacuum. THE WHITEHEAD LECTURE The Whitehead Memorial Lecture is named in honor of Dr. John Boswell Whitehead, a pioneer in electrical insulation and dielectrics and a long-time contributor to the CEIDP. The Conference opens each year with the Lecture and it is the keynote session of the Conference. The 2008 Whitehead Memorial Lecture will be given by Dr. Soli S. Bamji on a topic entitled, “Luminescence and Space Charge Phenomena in Polymeric Dielectrics”. Dr. Soli S. Bamji is a Principal Research Scientist at the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the Virginia State University in USA and pursued a Post Doctoral Fellowship at the Department of National Defense in Quebec, Canada before joining NRC. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and his research interests include aging mechanisms of insulation used in power devices and, diagnostic techniques to assess the operating conditions of dielectric materials in service.
