PROmotinG DiveRsity in Signal ProcESSing (PROGRESS) at IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing
Abstract
PROGRESS (PROmotinG DiveRsity in Signal ProcESSing) is a new initiative of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), aiming to motivate and support women and under-represented minorities to pursue academic careers in signal processing. The next PROGRESS workshop is scheduled for June 4 and 5, 2021, as an integral part of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2021). The event will be virtual. The workshop will offer sessions on how to prepare application materials, CVs, how to prepare for interviews. It will provide help on how to navigate funding opportunities and on grant proposal writing. We also plan to provide professional training sessions on raising awareness about implicit biases. Graduate and undergraduate students who are women or underrepresented minorities interested in academic careers will be the center of this workshop. They can ask questions and find valuable resources as they pursue a successful vocation in academia. The workshop will have two plenary speakers: (a) Jelena Kovacevic, William R. Berkley Professor and Dean, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, (b) Swati Mohan, Guidance, Navigation, & Control Systems Engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. We will provide development grants based on application to undergraduate students to support their registration.
