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
- Energy: solar cells, smart grid, load control
- Environmental and Remote Sensing: sensor nets, radar systems, space
- Graphics, HCI, Computer Vision, Photography
- Web Applications, Data Management, Security/Privacy
- Systems Software: OS, compilers, languages
- Systems Hardware: architecture, VLSI, embedded systems
- Network Systems and Science: next generation Internet, wireless networks
- Communication Systems: wireless, optical, wireline
- Information Theory and Coding: image and data compression, denoising
- Control, Learning, and Optimization
- Integrated Circuit Design: MEMs, sensors, analog, RF
- Quantum Science and Engineering
- Photonic and Electronic Devices
- Fields and Waves
