Two SEEI ITB Teams Win Awards at the LSI Design Contest 2025

Bandung, stei.itb.ac.id – Two teams from Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) once again achieved international recognition by becoming finalists and competing in the LSI Design Contest 2025 held in Okinawa, Japan. This competition is a prestigious event in the field of integrated circuit design (LSI – Large Scale Integration), which this year adopted the theme “Variational Autoencoder,” a method in Generative AI that plays an important role in data processing and machine learning. . . .. . .

The competition was attended by 12 finalist teams from various countries, including Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam. ITB represented Indonesia with two teams presenting their innovative projects:

Tim Arrhythmia Detector –. Developed the project “SVAE Implementation on FPGA for Arrhythmia Classification,” which focuses on implementing a Semi-Variational Autoencoder (SVAE) on FPGA for cardiac arrhythmia classification. This solution aims to improve efficiency and accuracy in detecting heart rhythm disorders. The team consisted of Rafael Aditya Cahyo W., Ahmad Hafidz Aliim, and Maritza Humaira. . . . . ..

Tim Tugas TTKI –. Presented the project “Low Resource CNN Variational Autoencoder by Utilizing BRAM and Shift Operation,” which developed a CNN-based Variational Autoencoder model optimized through the use of Block RAM (BRAM) and shift operations to reduce resource consumption. The team members were Randy Revaldo Pratama, Naufal Afiq Muzaffar, and Steven Tjhia. .. . . . . ..

During the competition, participants were evaluated based on the innovation of ideas, FPGA implementation, and potential industrial applications. Both ITB teams successfully received the “Fighting Spirit Award,” an award given to teams that demonstrate high dedication and an unyielding spirit in delivering innovative technological solutions. ..

The participation of ITB teams in this competition not only highlights the academic and technical excellence of SEEI ITB students in integrated circuit design and artificial intelligence, but also strengthens ITB’s position as an institution actively engaged in cutting-edge research and technological development. This achievement is expected to inspire other students to continue innovating and developing impactful technological solutions for industry and society.

SEEI ITB extends its congratulations to the Tim Arrhythmia Detector and the Tim Tugas TTKI Team on their success at this international event. This achievement stands as clear evidence of the dedication and excellence of ITB students in the field of technology. May this accomplishment further motivate future generations to continue creating and contributing to the world of science and technology. Tim Arrhythmia Detector –. . Tim Tugas TTKI –. .
