The CSL Conference was started in 2006 when ECE Professor Bruce Hajek, and other CSL faculty encouraged students to organize an event that would deliver information about the research being done by researchers at the laboratory through a series of short talks and presentations.
At the conference, 20 students will present a talk or poster about their research in topics ranging from controls, networks, signal processing, circuits, communications, security, and computer architecture. This offers a great opportunity for students to learn about the work being done in other CSL research areas and to build connections with the faculty and the invited speakers.
The CSL Conference hosts five sessions: communication and networks, two sessions on decision and control, system and hardware design, and signal processing. A professional on the topic speaks at each session.
The featured speakers:
1. Dr. Sanjay Lall, Stanford
2. Dr. Don Shaver, Texas Instruments
3. Dr. Gurinder Sohi, University of Wisconsin, Madison
4. Dr. Sheila Hemami, Cornell University
Every year the CSL Conference is completely organized by a student committee. This year, MechSE provided $1,000 to help with the funding of the conference and four MechSE students serve as CSL committee members: Vikas Chandan, Kun Deng, Neera Jain, and Gayathri Mohan.
