Dorin ANTONOVICI
Development Manager, IFM Prover, Sibiu, Romania
Dorin Antonovici received his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2012, from Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava. In 2010, he benefited from an Erasmus internship at KAHO Sint-Lieven University - Belgium, where he worked on a research project involving Digital Phase Shifters for Antenna Array. His career has been marked by a focus on hardware development for automotive and industry. His research interests include Signal Integrity analysis of High-Speed circuits and advanced EMC topics for Analog design. He is currently responsible for process sensors development group in IFM Prover company from Sibiu.
Presentation: Thin-Film vs. Thick-Film Pressure Cells - Design Outlines
Abstract. This presentation provides an overview of pressure sensing cells based on thin-film and thick-film technologies, highlighting their working principles, materials, manufacturing processes, and key characteristics. Particular attention is given to the formation of resistive sensing elements and their integration into Wheatstone bridge configurations. The two technologies are compared in terms of performance, robustness, manufacturability, and typical applications. In addition, laser adjustment and resistor trimming techniques are introduced as important methods for optimizing bridge parameters and sensor output. The presentation illustrates how sensing technology, manufacturing processes, and precise trimming contribute to the performance and consistency of modern pressure sensors.
Alexandru CONSTANTINESCU
Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Robotics, POLITEHNICA Bucharest
Gabriel-Alexandru Constantinescu is a student of Applied Informatics in Industrial Engineering at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest and a founding member of DRIFT Laboratory at the CAMPUS Research Institute. He designs electronic and embedded systems for robotics, avionics, and instrumentation, with a particular passion for power electronics. He has contributed to the electronics of the PULSAR rover and worked with other high-performance teams participating in student competitions. In 2026, he won the TIE-E student electronics design competition. His interests include Open Hardware and learning engineering through practical projects.
Presentation: Learning Electronics with Open Hardware
Abstract. How can we learn electronics from the projects that other engineers share?
Drawing on the experience of an Industrial Engineering student, this talk presents a practical approach to learning through Open Hardware. Concrete examples show how a focused question can guide schematic reading and lead to a testable prediction. We will explore where to find projects on GitHub and in electronics design communities, and how to assess their usefulness for learning. A short audience exercise invites participants to explain a circuit and propose a check, distinguishing a useful learning resource from a design ready to build.
Attila BONYAR
Department of Electronics Technology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
Attila Bonyár is a full professor, vice head of department and head of the Nanotechnology and Sensorics Research Group at the Department of Electronics Technology, Faculty of Electronics Engineering and Informatics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He was elected to serve in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) Electron Devices and Electronics Technology Scientific Committee for three terms (in 2017, 2021 and 2023) and is currently an elected member of the HAS General Assembly. He has been a senior IEEE member since 2021 and actively serves in several IEEE committees. He is a member of the IEEE NTC-s AdCom, past chair (current vice-chair) of the Nanopackaging Technical Committee, and past chair of the Hu&Ro EPS&NTC joint-chapter. In 2025, he received the EUROSENSORS Fellow award. His activities focus on developing optical biosensor technologies that utilize plasmonics and nanomaterials.
Presentation: Introducing the IEEE Nanotechnology Council
Abstract. Technical Councils are groups of IEEE Societies working together in broad areas of technology and sponsor activities that benefit individuals in all of the member Societies. The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) is a multi-disciplinary group whose purpose is to advance and coordinate work in the field of Nanotechnology carried out throughout the IEEE in scientific, literary and educational areas. The Council supports the theory, design, and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering, and industrial applications. The Council provides a focus for cooperative activities, both internally and externally, including the promotion, consolidation, and coordination of nanotechnology activities among IEEE entities. The talk will introduce the organizational framework of IEEE and NTC in particular, will discuss the activities of its technical committees, emphasizing the possible benefits offered for members. The possibilities for SBCs and student member involvement will also be highlighted.

She currently conducts independent research in standardisation, systems of systems, and organisational performance.
Within IEEE, Cristina (StM-23, GSM-24) serves as Webmaster and Social Media Coordinator for the IEEE Romania Section, as Secretary of the IEEE Romania Young Professionals Affinity Group, and most recently as IEEE Day 2026 Ambassador for Romania.
Presentation: From Vague Asks to Creative Outputs: Prompting with the Creative CRAFT Framework
Abstract. Nowadays, the quality of outputs generated by large language models depends heavily on the quality of the instructions they receive. The present activity introduces the Creative CRAFT Framework, a prompt engineering model published in 2025 in the International Journal of Innovative Research and Scientific Studies. It is designed to systematically enhance both the quality and the creativity of AI generated outputs. Through side-by-side examples, the participants present at the workshop will see how a vague prompt can be transformed into a more robust, results oriented one. Participants at the workshop are expected to gain hands-on experience on how they can immediately apply the CRAFT framework in their activities and projects.
