2012 CASS Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP)
The Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) offered by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) is established to better serve all CASS members. This program supports CASS speakers to offer lectures in the field of circuits and systems to regular and students in both universities and industry from all over the world through CASS chapters. This program is also intended to increase memberships among students offering them lectures discussing both established and emerging Circuits and Systems topics.
Every elected speaker serves the Society for two consecutive years, and every year, up to ten new speakers are elected. Every Lecturer is supported to offer several lectures on up to 4 trips per Year. A Chapter chair is encouraged to invite speakers and all the procedures and rules can be found at the following CASS website (http://ieee-cas.org/education/inviting-a-speaker). I encourage all chapters’ chairs to contact me for any question regarding this program and to invite lecturers to serve their local members in applying using a simple form available at this same webpage. I am very pleased to serve the Society and to chair the new appointed committee to handle this DL program. Our committee is appointed for the first time for this DL program and we are handling the task for two years (2011-2012).
Below, please see the list of the new ten elected Distinguished Lecturers for the 2012-2013. Our committee welcomes the new lecturers, thanks very much those who completed their mandate, and warmly greets the group of returning 2011-2012 CASS DLP lecturers. The list of all lecturers including lecture abstracts and bios are posted to CASS website at http://www.ieee-cas.org/lectures. The lecture topics offered for this year span from embedded systems, microfluidic biochips, 3D integrated circuits, Non linear circuits, data converters, printed electronics, technology scaling, analog/RF testing, and wearable devices. The next election of 2013-2014 DLP Speakers will take place early this coming summer with an open nomination period. Announcements altogether with needed rules will be placed on the CASS website and will be broadcasted to all CASS members. Please do not hesitate to contact if you have any additional question (http://www.ieee-cas.org/education/dlp-chair).
I am honored to chair the DLP committee and to work with elected DL experts. I am also privileged to serve CASS Chapters from all around the world and to promote our Society. Finally, I would like to warmly thank the CASS, the speakers, the chapter chairs, and the CASS webmaster, without the support of all parties, this DL program can not be on place and so successful.
