Areas of Research in Electrical Engineering
Candidates for advanced degrees participate in the research activities of the department as paid research assistants or as students of individual faculty members. At any one time, certain areas of research have more openings than others. A new applicant should express a second choice of research interest in the event that there are no vacancies in the primary area of interest. At present, faculty members and students are actively engaged in research in the following areas:
- Biomedical Devices and Bioimaging
- Communication Systems: wireless, optical, wireline
- Control, Learning, and Optimization
- Electronic and Magnetic Devices
- Energy: solar cells, smart grid, load control
- Environmental and Remote Sensing: sensor nets, radar systems, space
- Fields and Waves
- Graphics, HCI, Computer Vision, Photography
- Information Theory and Coding: Image and data compression, denoising
- Integrated Circuit Design: MEMs, sensors, analog, RF
- Network Systems and Science: Next gen internet, wireless networks
- Nano and Quantum Science
- Nanofabrication Science and Technology
- Photonic Devices
- Systems Software: OS, compilers, languages
- Systems Hardware: architecture, VLSI, embedded systems
