Who we are

The IEEE Student Branch Klagenfurt

The IEEE Student Branch is an organization within the IEEE. The IEEE is organized in ten regions, where Africa, Asia, and Europe from Region 8. The regions themselves are organized in sections. Our Student Branch is a sub organization of the Austrian Section. We are one of hundreds of Student Branches all over the world. Our Student Branch is organized by the Executive Committee which is elected every year around February.

Chair – Giacomo Da Col

Giacomo received his B.Sc. in 2012 at Università degli studi di Udine.

LAM Research

The IEEE SB Klagenfurt visited LAM Research in Villach. LAM Research is a leader in manufacturing semiconductor processing equipment. In its Villach based lab and production plant the company researches and builds machines to clean wafers. For three hours the SB was able to take a look behind the doors and experience the machines in live.

LAM’s location in Villach was added to the portfolio having bought SEZ, a small startup from Bleiberg, Villach, in 2008. SEZ was specialized in producing cleaning equipment for the production of wafers. After a brief presentation about the history of LAM Research and its product portfolio, the SB got the chance to visit the training lab where customers and LAM employees are taught how to handle chemicals used during the wafer cleaning process. The participants learned about the cleaning process and the various steps which are required. You may get some impressions from looking at the picture gallery:

Semesterausklang

Our new logo was unveiled during our first BBQ to celebrate the end of the Branch’s first summer semester. With beautiful weather and nice temperatures about 50 people joined for our first BBQ. In a nice atmosphere students, PhD students, postdocs, professors, and people interested in the Student Branch came together to have a good time and exchange ideas for the new Student Branch in Klagenfurt.

Our chefs Andrea and Nikolaj prepared delicious food while our bar man Manfred served cold drinks.

We like to thank the university for providing the location, Minerva for fixing the tasty salads, and of course all helpers to organize this event.

Scientific Writing Series – Part 2

In our three part series “Scientific Writing” we cover aspects of writing, creating good looking plots, and generating meaningful graphs from data. In the first event John Brown pointed out mistakes commonly made by non-native speakers when writing scientific documents. The second talk “Writing Beautiful Documents with LaTeX” by Alessandro Crismani gave a brief introduction to TikZ. The talk was motivated by a common problem when writing documents in LaTeX: How does one get the figures to have the same font and size as the rest of the document. This article briefly illustrates the possibilities of TikZ as we assume this problem to be wide spread.
PGF/TikZ is a tandem of languages that can be used in a LaTeX documents for creating beautiful drawings. Using PGF/TikZ the fonts used in graphics are directly plotted with Latex, and hence they scale accordingly to the text size, unlike EPS files exported, for example, from Matlab.

The short talk presented a funny introduction to PGF/TikZ, explaining by examples how to use such languages for producing drawing for everyday publications. The talk explained how to create a nice plot from a saved series of data, such as this one:

Or, if one is rather a flow chart guy, the talk also showed how to draw very content rich charts, such as this:

Finally, for the mathematical inclined people, the icing on the cake was learning how to plot random coordinates and to use intersection between curves:

You may download the slides (pdf) or check them out including the examples from BitBucket using git.

We continue our scientific writing series on another problem students and researcher face: how to obtain meaningful plots from data in July.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the fanciest webpage of all?

The IEEE Region 8 SAC team now announced the winners of the Regional Website Contest 2013. We did not win, but it was fun participating. It is also interesting to get ideas how to make a fancy IEEE student branch webpage.

After challenging evaluation process, the SAC team decided to honour the follwoing three as best websites:

These are:
– 1st place: ISCTE-IUL Student Branch (Portugal) http://ieee-iscteiul.org/
– 2nd place: IEEE AAST Alex Student Branch (Egypt) www.ieeeaast.org
– 3rd place: Southampton Student Branch (UK) http://www.ieee.ecs.soton.ac.uk/

Congratulations to the winners!

IEEE SB Barbeque

Join us for some BBQ!
We will enjoy nice weather (hopefully) and good company (for sure!) together with some drinks and food.
The barbeque will take place in front of E.1.Q. on June 6. at 7 pm.

You already know you are coming – great!
Let us know, so that we make sure we won’t run out of supplies!
