TSA Best Student Paper Award

 
In 2005, the Symposium started the Best Student Paper Award annual contest. The selection will be based on the paper quality evaluated by technical committee members, as well as the presentation of the paper at the symposium. The paper should be presented by the key author who is a full-time student at the time of paper presentation. The Best Student Paper Award will be presented to the winning student at the next year’s symposium.
 
2025 TSA Best Student Paper Award Winners ~ Congratulations!
 
The 2025 TSA Best Student Paper Award will be presented at 2026 International VLSI Symposium on Technology, Systems and Applications opening ceremony and each winner will be rewarded by a certificate and US$500. Besides, the Symposium will also offer the winners the waiver of registration fee to attend the 2026 International VLSI Symposium on Technology, Systems and Applications.
