IEEE UK and Ireland Circuits and Systems Chapter 75th Anniversary Event | Circuits and Systems, Industry and Academia: A UK and Ireland Perspective
To celebrate the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society’s (CASS) 75th anniversary, the IEEE UK and Ireland Circuits and Systems Chapter is pleased to invite you to attend an exciting technical and networking event entitled “Circuits and Systems, Industry and Academia: A UK and Ireland Perspective”.
The event will include two technical talks from industry as well as a presentation by the local IEEE CASS student branch, and ending with a light refreshments drinks reception to facilitate networking.
Technical talks:
Talk 1 – Training Your Environment, Network and Skillset, Dr Isil Kalafat Kizilkaya, Senior Silicon Design Engineer, AMD, UK
This talk focuses on prevalent business trends including networking, expanding skillset and mindfulness. From an engineering standpoint, the talk will integrate these concepts with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The talk will navigate you on how to train your environment, people in your network and skillset such that your career will also be a biotic, evolving part of your life. The talk will share insights from the speaker’s journey as a woman in CAS who transitioned from academia to industry, gained experience in three different countries, and completed three degrees at separate universities.
Talk 2 – Circuit and Systems Design from Academia to Industry, an Engineer’s Challenges, Dr Ching Man, Staff Applications Engineer at Analog Devices, Ireland
The talk centres around circuits and systems, the challenges in designing a reliable and robust systems that will eventually end up in manufactured products.
The talk provides a deep dive from a system perspective which includes, analogue circuits, digital interface, analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), ASICs/FPGA, power regulation noise to printed circuit boards (PCB) schematics and layout with tips and tricks.
Hardware and software bugs are also introduced, and how to avoid them from past design experience. Also included are some archive design case studies which highlights the benefits and advantages for a reliable and robust systems, to avoid escalating issues during a project life cycle, such as in development stages, production issues, to field failures and worst-case scenario, product recalls.
