SiliconTech, the engineering institute of Silicon University, hosted the 2nd International Conference on Circuits, Power, and Intelligent Systems (CCPIS 2025) from 5 to 7 September 2025, in the hybrid mode.
This event, technically co-sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, IEEE Kolkata Section, IEEE Bhubaneswar Subsection, IEEE Silicon Student Chapter, and IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) & Industry and Energy Society (IES) Bhubaneswar Chapter, brought together researchers, industry professionals, and academicians from around the world. The conference was inaugurated by Shri Prasanta Kumar Pattnaik, Director (Operations), OPTCL, who emphasized the crucial role of innovation in driving the future of power and intelligent systems. Dr. Shivananda Koteshwar, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Astera Labs, India, delivered the keynote address on ‘Compute in the AI Era’.
The conference featured keynote sessions by eminent speakers, setting a high academic and industrial benchmark. Dr. Siba K. Udgata from the University of Hyderabad spoke on ‘Mulsemedia and Olfactory Systems’, while Mr. Sonjib Banerjee of Manav Energy, Bengaluru, addressed electrical safety with his talk on ‘Zero Electrical Fire Solution’. Other notable speakers included Dr. Swaroop Mishra from Microsoft AI, USA, who presented on recent AI breakthroughs, and Dr. K. Shanti Swarup from IIT Madras, who shared insights on smart power grid resilience. Additionally, special sessions were conducted, including an IEEE Young Professionals session by Dr. Kiran Kumar Patra and a Women in Engineering (WiE) session by Dr. Celia Shahnaz, who highlighted AI applications in healthcare.
Over the three-day event, 16 technical sessions were conducted across six tracks- Microelectronic Circuits, Power Systems, Intelligent Systems, Communication Networks, Multimedia Signal Processing, and Control. The conference received an overwhelming 667 paper submissions from reputed national and international institutions. After a rigorous IEEE-standard peer review process, 246 papers were accepted, with 131 papers registered and presented. CCPIS 2025 provided a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange and professional networking, further enhanced by a dedicated networking dinner for delegates.
The conference concluded with a valedictory session that celebrated academic excellence through best paper awards across all six tracks. Notable winning papers included research on arrhythmia detection using deep learning, a smart parking system, and contingency management in power systems. By integrating cutting-edge research, industrial relevance, and inclusive participation, CCPIS 2025 reaffirmed its status as a leading IEEE conference committed to advancing innovation in circuits, power, and intelligent systems.
