Trieste, July 5-7, 2021

The Ph.D. School of the SIE (“Società Italiana di Elettronica” – “Italian Electronics Society”) is an important event linked to the SIE Annual Meeting.

This year the School focuses on Electronics for IoT. The purpose of the school is to provide an overview of the technology, industry, and research in electronics for the Internet of Things. Attention will be devoted also to contiguous disciplines that are fundamental for a fruitful deployment of such networks.

The School will cover different topics of interest to engineers and researchers working on IoT: analog hardware for IoT, power management, distributed intelligent systems, approximate computing and multimedia management, optical fiber sensing and smart structures, bio-inspired electronic systems, digital computing platforms for near-sensor processing. The lectures will also address topics of the telecommunication field necessary to work with IoT, including 5G and low power wide area networks in unlicensed spectrum.  The experience of leading IoT industries will also conveyed to the School.

Given the crosscutting relevance of the topic, the School is expected to be of great interest not only for Ph.D. students dealing with electronics, but also for those involved in similar fields, like telecommunication, electrical, industrial, biomedical, computer science engineering.

The PhD school will be a mixed event: students and professors will be allowed to participate on an online platform or, if conditions allow it, in presence at the University of Trieste.  If COVID restrictions permit, in presence participation is highly recommended to all PhD Students.

Ph.D. students and recent graduates are warmly invited to participate to this unique experience. Young researchers, doctors, and company’s R&D staff can also participate.
