IEEE SSCS Directions Series Workshop: Think & Impact with ICs

The IEEE SSCS Directions Series workshop "Think & Impact with ICs: From Words to Circuits - Agentic AI, Foundation Models, and Open EDA" convened researchers and practitioners to discuss AI-native design workflows and open infrastructure for next-generation ICs.

Prof. Mehdi Saligane co-chaired the workshop and presented on open, automated design flows that shorten iteration cycles while supporting efficient AI-centric systems. The session emphasized practical paths from foundation-model tooling to reproducible, shareable EDA pipelines.
