2022–2023 SSCS Student Shirt Design Contest [Society News

The first-place winner of the 2022–2023 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Student Shirt Design Contest is Robin Roy, Amal Jyothi College of Engineering, India. Students were tasked with designing a shirt that illustrates building on 70 years of innovation in solid-state circuit design. Roy’s design features the theme logo on the back side of the shirt with the SSCS and IEEE logos on the back. The design concept is a silicon wafer as background text with a few fabricated chips removed as white spaces. The winning design was printed, designed onto long sleeve shirts, and handed out to all SSCS Student and Graduate Student Members at the 2023 International Solid-State Circuits Conference. Congratulations to the runners up: second-place winner, Mahdi Yektaei, Shahed University, Iran, and third-place winner, Saurabh Yadav, Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India. The Student Shirt Design Contest is held annually in the fall. Please check the SSCS website in early fall 2023 for details on the 2023–2024 Student Design Contest.

Kim received his M.S. degree from Korea University in Seoul, South Korea, and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. He is currently an associate professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore and mainly performs research in the field of computing in memory (CIM) and low-power and high-performance digital, mixed-mode, and memory circuit design. In 2022–2023, he was elected as a distinguished lecturer for the SSCS.

SSCS Webinars for Young Excellence (WYE)—A Virtual Bridge for YPs and Students [Society News

Around the beginning of 2020—when the pandemic had just started—a group of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) young professionals (YPs) initiated the idea of using virtual webinars to deliver nontechnical yet critical skills to the YP members. In addition, the webinars can also bridge the YPs and senior members. With generous help from the SSCS Webinar Committee and support from the senior members, the Webinar for Young Excellence (WYE) commenced its first webinar in 2020 May. After almost three years, the WYE program has become one of the staple programs within the SSCS and has reached out to thousands of young members and students through the quarterly webinar series. The webinars are offered free to both IEEE and non-IEEE members to benefit a wider community and potentially increase membership. Through the webinars, we can also reach members from all corners of the globe.
