While our center advances the organization of the main social and technical activities of ISCAS 2016, we are involved in the preparations of two major satellite events which are CASFEST 2016 and the Symposium ReSMiQ-Meiji-ISEP 2016.
CASFEST 2016
Our center is closely involved in the organization of CASFEST 2016, one of the satellite activities of the ISCAS2016 conference. This year the topic is “Lab on CMOS Systems” and will review the various technological breakthroughs in this field. The call for papers is now underway and will end on 18 December. CASFEST be held at Polytechnique Montreal on May 26, 2016.

ReSMiQ-Meiji-ISEP 2016 Symposium
ReSMiQ joined forces with colleagues from France (ISEP) and Japan (Meiji) to make our annual symposium an event of international significance. We plan to host guest speakers who will talk about the impact of circuits and systems to improve human health and quality of life. A poster competition featuring projects by students from France, Japan and Canada will also be part of the program. The symposium will take place during the first day of the conference ISCAS 2016, Sunday, May 22, at the Sheraton Centre in Montreal. We hope to see many of you there.

SIGNAL is the main monthly information medium of the Microsystems Strategic Alliance of Québec (ReSMiQ). This newsletter aims to be an active link between the members of ReSMiQ and all individuals who have an interest in research and innovation in microsystems. We commit ourselves to promote in it our members’ research and increase ReSMiQ’s visibility.
ReSMiQ is a group of researchers in an interuniversity research center that can count on the support of the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT) and ten (10) Quebec universities involved in microsystems research.
Ghyslain Gagnon received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Carleton University, Canada. Currently, he is an associate professor with the Electrical Engineering department of École de technologie supérieure, Montreal, Canada and head of the ÉTS microelectronics and communications laboratory (LACIME). He worked for ISR Technologies where he designed and implemented several critical synchronization modules for a software-defined radio used in high-speed wireless telecommunications systems. Prof. Gagnon research interests are mixed-signal circuits and systems, digital signal processing, and wireless communications. He led many industrial partnership research projects in the fields of sensor networks to monitor electrical energy consumption, smart control heating equipment and radiofrequency localization. He has filed two patents and has published several journal and conference refereed papers. He is currently member of the ReSMiQ Executive Committee.
