This workshop is for young and mid-career faculty and professionals in the fields related to electronic design automation (EDA). The workshop will start in the morning with an interactive session borrowing techniques from IMPROV to help you improve your soft and communication skills with others. This is followed by presentations and panel discussions by professionals discussing diverse topics such as how you can navigate the various challenges to better succeed and thrive in your academic or industry job, how to get your projects funded and climb academic and technical ladders, as well as how we can better cooperate and align research in academia with industry, and vice versa. In addition, the workshop will provide rich opportunities to closely interact and network with some of the established academicians, professionals, and funding officers in the field related to EDA.
