Call for Applications: 2026 LAD Fellowship

August 25th, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Call for Applications: 2026 LAD Fellowship
The IEEE International Conference on LLM-Aided Design (ICLAD) invites applications for the 2026 LAD Fellowship, a fellowship supporting outstanding graduate students conducting innovative research at the intersection of AI, automation, and systems.
Each LAD Fellowship provides a $10,000 cash award, paid directly to the selected student. Fellows will participate in the following year’s LAD Conference and present their research progress in a poster session. A portion of the award is expected to support travel and participation in the conference.
Applicants must be:
  • Full-time graduate students
  • Conducting research relevant to LLM-Aided Design and design automation
  • At least one year away from graduation at the time of application
Applicants should submit:
  1. A 3-page research proposal describing a one-year research project
  2. Curriculum vitae (CV) highlighting academic achievements, publications, and relevant experience
  3. Two letters of recommendation, including one from the applicant’s primary research advisor
Application Opens: August 15, 2026
Application Deadline: September 15, 2026 (AoE)
Award Notification: October 15, 2026

Identity Security in the Age of Deepfakes — Prof. Siwei Lyu — Aug. 27

Upcoming IAPR TC4/ IEEE Biometrics Council Webinar

Title: Identity Security in the Age of Deepfakes
Speaker: Prof. Siwei Lyu, University at Buffalo, USA
When: August 27, 2026 at 8:00 AM US Eastern Time (2:00 pm CEST, 8:00 PM Beijing Time)
Where: Online (Zoom)
Registration (free but required): https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_O4u0j2pRRbqueYItyIooJA

Abstract:

Rapid advances in generative AI have made it increasingly easy to synthesize or manipulate faces, voices, and real-time audiovisual streams, creating new challenges for biometric identity systems. This talk examines how deepfakes can affect different stages of the biometric pipeline, including synthetic identity creation, impersonation, morphing, and real-time digital injection. It will clarify the complementary roles of biometric matching, presentation attack detection and liveness, and media forensics, and review the forensic evidence that current deepfake detectors exploit.

The talk will also discuss why deepfake detection remains difficult in real-world settings and argue for moving beyond a single “real or fake” detector toward layered, evidence-based and risk-aware biometric authentication. The webinar should be relevant to researchers, practitioners, students, and security professionals working in biometrics, identity verification, media forensics, AI security, fraud prevention, and trustworthy AI.

About The Speaker: 

Siwei Lyu is a SUNY Distinguished Professor at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, where he directs the Institute for AI and Data Science and the UB Media Forensics Lab. His research focuses on digital media forensics, deepfake and AI-generated media detection, and trustworthy AI. He leads the development of DeepFake-o-Meter, an open platform integrating state-of-the-art deepfake detection methods for research and real-world analysis. He is a Fellow of IEEE and IAPR.
