Abstract

We are thrilled to announce a special oral session, IEEE ISICAS 2025 Predoctoral Forum, where our Young IEEE CASS members will present their dissertation research with people in the circuits and systems community. This event aims to provide a platform for Ph.D. students to showcase and discuss their dissertation research with a diverse community of peers, mentors, and industry professionals. It has become one of the premier forums for Ph.D. students in IEEE CASS to get feedback on their research and for industry to see academic work in progress. Our vision is to establish this session where emerging scholars can receive invaluable feedback on their ongoing research projects while also allowing the industry to witness the remarkable academic work in progress within our community.

Participation in this forum is highly competitive, with an acceptance rate that speaks to the exceptional quality of contributions we anticipate. Selected Student Travel Grant (https://2025.ieee-isicas.org/authors/cstg.html) recipients will be invited to give presentations at the forum. It is our belief that by fostering an inclusive environment, we can create a unique space for collaboration, networking, and knowledge sharing that benefits all. We are excited about the synergies and opportunities for engagement that this collaboration will bring.
