Welcome to Linköping University Student Branch. We collaborate with other IEEE student branches around Sweden and Internationally to bring events of interest to students.

On December 12, IEEE Linköping Student Branch organized a visit to the National Supercomputer Centre at Campus Valla. The National Supercomputer Centre in Sweden (NSC) provides leading-edge high-performance computing resources and support to users throughout Sweden. NSC is an independent center within Linköping University.

On October 12, Linköping University hosted a distinguished lecture on Cellular networks: modern design and future look by Alexey Shapin from Ericsson. The talk was also streaming online so that IEEE members (and not only) within Sweden could join. After the lecture, all participants had opportunity to ask questions about job opportunities in Ericsson.

The event was organized by IEEE Young Professionals Affinity Group in collaboration with IEEE Linköping Student Branch.

On September 29, AI HackTrack was held at LiU, where several teams of students came together to build innovative solutions using artificial intelligence. The participants had only 9 hours to bring their ideas to life. The final presentations were fantastic! All the winners got cash certificates and gifts from MathWorks and IEEE.

On September 20, the event introduced IEEE to PhD students at Linköping University by showing the benefits of being an IEEE member.

IEEE Sweden Section Chair, Andrei Gurtov, gave a talk on IEEE Sweden Section and the opportunities providing by IEEE organization. The doctoral student representative at Linköping University, Rina Blomberg, gave a talk on difficulties PhD students may encounter during their studies and who to ask for the support.

Afterwards, all participants got an opportunity to ask questions about IEEE or PhD studies in general and enjoy coffee with cakes.

On April 19, IEEE Workshop on Machine Learning using MATLAB held at Linköping University was attended by almost 50 students. Presentation of IEEE student activities was given by Oksana Moryakova, IEEE Sweden Section Student Activities Chair. A workshop on how to build a machine learning algorithm using MATLAB was given by Yamha Javid, MATLAB ambassador. The participants who managed to complete MATLAB course on  Machine Learning during the workshop won MATLAB merchandise. The food (sushi and soft drinks) was provided for all the participants.

On December 16th, IEEE Student Branch Kick-Off Seminar was held at Linköping University.

IEEE  member Ted Johansson gave a talk on energy efficiency in wireless circuits. Pizza was provided for all the participants.

The IEEE Nordic SYP Congress 2019 was co-hosted by the Finish and Swedish Young Professionals affinity groups, and the student branches of both countries. The 3 day event was based on a cruise ship between Finland and Sweden with talks from leading IEEE representatives from Region 8, and industry experts talking about how sustainability relates to their respective industries.

The Center for Model-Based Cyber-Physical Product Development (MODPROD) is an inter-disciplinary research center at Linköpings universitet. The center involves a number of companies as well as researchers from the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA) and the Department of Management and Engineering (IEI). The event is the annual workshop of the center.

MODPROD 2017

Every year we host a CV workshop to help students prepare and improve their CVs. This event was begun by the KTH Student branch, but will now be moved to a WebEx format to allow easy access to all student branches.

The Sweden Young Professionals Affinity Group, and Student Branches combined to host the first ever Nordic SYP Congress. The event was also used to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the IEEE Sweden Section.
