Edinburgh, Scotland (UK) June 2020
ISSW2020 is now over. Thanks to our steering committee, sponsors, speakers, attendees and staff for making it such a success.
Privacy NoticeThe International SPAD Sensor Workshop focuses on the study, modeling, design, fabrication, and characterization of SPAD sensors. The workshop welcomes all researchers, practitioners, and educators interested in SPADs, SPAD imagers, and associated applications, not only in imaging but also in other fields.
The second edition of the workshop will gather experts in all areas of SPADs and SPAD related applications using Internet virtual conference technology. Over 20 invited speakers will animate three days of study, information dissemination, and debates.
ISSW 2020 will be run primarily as a virtual conference this year from the University of Edinburgh
The ISSW 2020 Workshop Programme is listed below.
