Welcome to Rising Stars

An Academic Career Workshop for Women

Rising Stars is a career-building workshop for women electrical engineers and computer scientists interested in careers in academia. This year’s workshop will bring together over 60 top graduates in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science for two days of scientific interactions and career-oriented discussions.

The conference will include research talks and posters as well as presentations on aspects of life in academia—from finding a faculty position to how to succeed as a junior faculty member. Participants will have the opportunity to present their ongoing research, to interact with faculty members from top institutions, and to receive advice for advancing their careers.
