I welcome you to our website, which is designed to be our members' focal point to keep in touch and up to date, and to introduce visitors to our Section and the activities of its members.   Our interests are primarily technical, in the diverse fields of things electrical such as electrical power generation and distribution, wired and wireless tele-communications, digital networks and data processing, and the ubiquitous computer. There are many other interests as can be seen by exploring the IEEE Toronto links on the left. Thank you for visiting, enjoy, Dr. Kostas Plataniotis IEEE Toronto Section Chair
