Travel: NSF-CISE Student Participation Grant for MWSCAS 2023

该奖项支持参加将于2023年8月在亚利桑那州图森举行的第62届中西部电路和系统研讨会（MWCAS）的学生旅行。MWCAS是电路和系统领域首屈一指的国际会议。除了由该领域的主要专家进行的教程、主题演讲和全体演讲外，学术和行业研究人员以及学生将参加会议，以讲座和海报的形式展示他们最近的工作。会议将举办一场学生论文比赛，鼓励最优秀的学生跟上最现代的技术。这项资助的接受者将从发表论文的学生中选出，并将支付他们在会议上的部分旅行和注册费用。美国公民和永久居民将在遴选过程中获得最高优先权。学生在这个过程中获得的经验将成为他们教育的宝贵组成部分。由于参加会议的工业参与者人数众多，这次经历还将帮助他们在工业中获得职位，从而为美国急需的技术劳动力做出贡献。评选委员会将通过这笔赠款给予妇女和代表性不足群体的适当关注。会议所涉及的技术领域除其他问题外，一般将是与现代计算硬件技术有关的电子电路和系统。更具体地说，广泛的主题将包括，但不限于：模拟和混合信号电路和系统；数字集成电路与系统；电力和能源电路和系统；感觉电路与系统；信号、图像和多媒体处理；通信电路和系统；射频和无线电路和系统；生物医学电路和系统；神经网络与神经形态工程；以及超越CMOS电路和架构。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports student travel for attending the 62nd Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWCAS) to be held in Tucson, AZ in August 2023. The MWCAS is a premier international conference in the field of circuits and systems. Other than tutorials, keynote, and plenary lectures by leading experts in the field, the conference will be attended by academic and industry researchers and students to present their recent work both in lecture sessions and poster sessions. The conference will host a student paper competition to encourage the best students to keep abreast of the most modern technologies. Recipients of this grant will be selected from the pool of students presenting papers and will be paid part of their expenses for travel and registration at the conference. US citizens and permanent residents will be given the highest priority in the selection process. The experience gained by the students in the process is going to be an invaluable component of their education. Due to the large number of industrial participants in the meeting, the experience will also help them to secure positions in industry, thus contributing to the much-needed technological workforce of the United States. The selection committee will pay due attention to supporting women and people from underrepresented groups through this grant.The technical areas covered by the conference will, in general, be electronic circuits and systems relevant, among other problems, to modern computing hardware technologies. More specifically, the broad spectrum of topics to be covered will include, but will not be limited to: Analog and Mixed Signal Circuits and Systems; Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems; Power and Energy Circuits and Systems; Sensory Circuits and Systems; Signal, Image, and Multimedia Processing; Communications Circuits and Systems; RF and Wireless Circuits and Systems; Biomedical Circuits and Systems; Neural Networks and Neuromorphic Engineering; and Beyond CMOS Circuits and Architectures.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
