About
Though women are underrepresented in engineering, but the number has been growing consistently as more women are opting to pursue studies in this field and still there is a lot required to be done to encourage this trend. We would like to dedicate this conference so as to promote and encourage women engineers and motivate young girls to follow their academic interests to a career in engineering. With a view to inspire women engineers, pioneer and successful women achievers in the domains of VLSI design, wireless sensor networks, communication, image/ signal processing, machine learning, and emerging technologies have been identified from across the globe and invited to present their work and address the participants in this women oriented conference. All the keynote speakers, tutorial presenters, session chairs and the members of conference organizing team are women. The conference aspires to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals to showcase innovative and interdisciplinary research findings on practical as well as theoretical advancements in Electronics, Communication and Signal Processing.
However, participation is not limited to women candidates only. It is open for all the researchers in specified areas.

Keynote Speakers
Prof Nilmini Wickramasinghe
Swinburne University of Technology, Australia
Health 4.0
Digital Health is essential in today's world. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the benefits of digital health. Digital Health is powered by the developments of technologies making up Internet of Things (IoT) including sensors, mobile, 3D printing, analytics and more. This presentation will highlight key areas and provide insights into how the technologies of IoT can provide superior healthcare for all.
Prof. Maryam Shojaei Baghini
IIT-Bombay
Modular Sensor Interfacing and Signal Conditioning
Sensing devices are becoming a part of communication technologies or a part of portable and mobile measurement devices to bring a new age of ubiquitous sensing. Integrable sensor modules demand modular interfacing, analog signal conditioning and integrable solutions compatible with the analog to data and information transformation. The solutions must suppress the noise, have the required sensitivity, and reduce effect of non-idealities. In this talk examples of low-noise, discrete and integrated designs for the interacting and signal conditioning of sensor signals in various forms and from different sensing elements are presented.
TUTORIALS
Game-driven Electronic Design Automation
In this tutorial, I will present highly visual interactive design frameworks that we have developed to harness human intelligence for mapping/placement and architecture design for custom reconfigurable devices. People excel at navigating complex and dynamically changing situations, recognizing recurring patterns, and identifying potential opportunities. I will show how these reasoning and problem solving skills can be brought to bear in solving the mapping challenge for custom reconfigurable architectures.

AI tools to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
Antimicrobial Resistance is fast emerging to be one of the biggest challenges in healthcare across the world. Rampant inappropriate use of antibiotics is by far the biggest contributor to this problem. Dr Seema Singh will be conducting a tutorial around the potential role of data analytics and AI based decision support systems in driving the judicious use of antibiotics in healthcare practice.
