PhD Forum ACM SIGDA 2015   

ACM SIGDA / EDAA PhD Forum at DATE 2015 in Grenoble

The ACM SIGDA / EDAA PhD forum is part of the DATE Conference and hosted by ACM SIGDA and the European Design Automation Association (EDAA). It offers the opportunity for PhD students to present their thesis work to a broad audience in the design, automation and test community from academia and industry. During the presentation at the DATE Conference, it helps students to establish contacts. Also, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-of-the-art research in design, automation and test. The review process resulted in the selection of the PhD students listed below. We thank ACM SIGDA, EDAA, and DATE for making this Forum possible.
