Accelerate: Technology & Innovation
Signature Live Event
June 9th | 1 PM - 6 PM EST

Offices of Foley & Lardner
111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA

CENE Accelerate: Technology and Innovation creates a unique bridge between the vibrant technology and investment community in the greater Boston area and the premier growth technology companies in Canada. This half day program included presentations by a select group of Canadian fast growth technology companies, networking opportunities and a keynote address by Earl Marmar, PhD, Associate Director, Senior Research Scientist, Physics Department Head, Magnetic Fusion Experiments, MIT.

Keynote Speaker: Earl Marmar, PhD, Associate Director, Senior Research Scientist, Physics Department Head, Magnetic Fusion Experiments, MIT
Dr. Earl Marmar received his PhD and MA in Physics from Princeton University in 1977 following a BSc, Physics, from the University of Manitoba. During his graduate research at Princeton, he helped to develop a technique to introduce an intense beam of low energy neutral atoms into the edge of a tokamak plasma discharge that has found subsequent application in fusion related experiments worldwide. In the late 1970s, working on the Alcator A tokamak at MIT, Dr. Marmar was the co-discoverer of the edge plasma radiative condensation phenomenon which has come to be known as the MARFE. From 1984-87, Dr. Marmar's research on Alcator C included the first unambiguous observations of charge transfer, from excited neutral hydrogen to highly stripped impurity ions in a tokamak plasma, and the lamb shift in the ground state of hydrogen-like argon was measured with unprecedented precision. In his experiments on Alcator C-Mod, he concentrates on studies of impurity and energy transport, particularly in enhanced energy confinement regimes which combine high pressure core plasmas with low impurity particle confinement.
