 rs :\n\nDr. Sharmistha Bhadra\, received the B.Sc. degree in computer engi
 neering from the University of New Brunswick\, Fredericton\, NB\, Canada\,
  and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Univer
 sity of Manitoba\, Winnipeg\, MB\, Canada. From 2015 to 2016\, she was an 
 NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow with the University of British Columbia\, Vancou
 ver\, BC\, Canada. She joined McGill University in 2016\, where she is cur
 rently an Assistant Professor. She has published more than 46 articles and
  holds two patents in sensor and wearable area. Her current research inter
 ests are in the area of printed and flexible hybrid electronics\, microele
 ctromechanical systems\, wearables and implants\, sensors and actuators.\n
 \nDr. Sahar Azad\, received her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering\, s
 pecialized in power systems\, from University of Toronto\, Toronto\, Canad
 a\, in 2013. During her doctoral research\, she focused on designing vario
 us control schemes for DC-segmented AC systems to prevent grid instability
  and large-scale blackouts. She was a post-doctoral fellow at the Centre f
 or Applied Power Electronics (CAPE) at the University of Toronto in 2014. 
 During her post-doctoral research\, she focused on designing controllers w
 ith low communication requirements to improve multi-infeed HVDC systems st
 ability. In 2015\, she worked as an experienced researcher in the field of
  DC grid protection at the Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven\, Leuven\, 
 Belgium. Her research was a part of the multi-terminal DC grid for offshor
 e wind (MEDOW) project\; a Marie Curie initial training network funded by 
 the European Commission. She worked as an Assistant Professor at the Unive
 rsity of Alberta from October 2015 until December 2017. She joined the Dep
 artment of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterl
 oo in 2018. Her research focuses on protection and control of power system
 s with embedded HVDC lines.\n\nDr. Rania Hassan Mekky\, received the B.Sc.
  (Distinction with Honors) and M.Sc. degrees from Ain Shams University\, C
 airo\, Egypt\, in 2005 and 2009\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree from
  McGill University\, Montreal\, QC\, Canada\, in 2016\, all in electrical 
 engineering. She is currently a principal design engineer at Cadence Desig
 n System\, Montreal\, QC\, Canada\, where she is involved in developing hi
 gh-performance advanced high-speed serial data links and high-speed I/O ci
 rcuits and architectures in FinFET process technologies. From 2005 to 2008
  she worked as an analog mixed-signal design engineer at Mentor Graphics (
 now acquired by Seimens)\, Cairo\, Egypt\, where she worked on the design 
 of several systems such as integer-N and fractional-N PLLs for high-speed 
 serial data links\, and SerDes transmitters and receivers. From 2008 to 20
 09\, she was with Newport Media Inc. (acquired by Atmel)\, Cairo\, Egypt\,
  where she designed CT-∑∆ ADCs for mobile TV and audio applications. H
 er research interests include data converter techniques (ADCs\, DACs\, and
  TDCs)\, sensing circuits\, low-power mixed-signal circuits\, high-speed s
 erial data links\, phase-locked loops\, frequency synthesizers\, and oscil
 lators. Dr. Mekky has published eight technical articles and holds two gra
 nted patents. She received the Engineering Class of 1936 Award from McGill
  University. She serves as a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Circuit
 s and Systems I (TCAS I)\, the IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Com
 puter Engineering\, and for the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits a
 nd Systems (ISCAS).\n\nAgenda: \nIntroduction of Event and Panel Members\n
