The 2024 Asian Test Symposium (ATS) doctoral thesis award contest is one of the semi-finals for the 2025 TTTC’s E. J. McCluskey Doctoral Thesis Award. Named after Prof. E. J. McCluskey, a key contributor to the field of test technology, the TTTC’s doctoral thesis award serves the purpose to recognize the most impactful doctoral student work, to provide the students with the opportunity to impress the community and the prospective employers, and to promote interaction between academia and industry in the field of test technology.
For the 2025 TTTC’s doctoral thesis award, semi-finals will be held (to be confirmed) at the Asian Test Symposium (ATS), the VLSI Test Symposium (VTS), the European Test Symposium (ETS), and the Latin American Test Workshop (LATW). At each semi-final, a jury will determine the winner, and the semi-final winners will compete for the award in the final, held at the 2025 International Test Conference (ITC).
