Kasra Moazzemi receives 2nd place at SIGDA Ph.D. Forum!

The SIGDA Ph.D. at the Design Automation Conference is a poster session co-sponsored by both ACM SIGDA and IEEE CEDA for Ph.D. students to present and discuss their dissertation research with people in the EDA community. It is one of the premier forums for research feedback and for industry to see academic work in progress. Participation in the forum is competitive with an acceptance rate around 30%.
Kasra Moazzemi, who is advised by Prof. Nikil Dutt, is a Ph.D. candidate in CECS and ICS. (more…)
CECS Prof. Payam Heydari elected IEEE Distinguished Lecturer
Professor Payam Heydari was previously elected as the Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. Now, he has also been elected as the Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. Currently, Heydari is the only faculty in the EECS department and one of only a handful worldwide, who have been elected as the Distinguished Lecturer of more than one IEEE society. Congratulations!
