The WiSe Panel discussion will present view-points from top-level leaders in academia, industry and government high institutions about current and future career opportunities, specifically in different sub-fields of sensors.
Date: Monday October 31, 2022
Time: 1:30pm – 3:30pm CDT
For the first time in the SENSORS Conference, Big Idea Pitch Competition is sponsored by IEEE Sensors Council WiSe Committee to motivate young students and researchers to pursue business ideas based on their research and learn from coaches and judges how to pitch their visions.
Keynotes Speakers
Celia Shahnaz (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Concordia University, Montreal, QC, Canada, in 2000 and 2002, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering, in 2009.
