Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty and students conduct cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of information technology. Their work explores how electrons and photons interact with materials, harnessing these fundamental properties to create microscopic and nanoscale devices for electrical and optical uses. This research spans diverse applications including neural interface technologies with patterned probes, quantum light sources and nano-optical structures, high-frequency wireless communication, quantum electronic devices, light-matter interactions at nanoscales, integrated silicon photonics, and ultra-fast optical-acoustic phenomena. Their investigations also cover computational areas such as voice recognition systems, visual computing algorithms, artificial intelligence techniques, energy-efficient computing paradigms, stochastic computing methods, integrated circuit architecture, adaptive processing systems, and bio-inspired computational approaches.

Qualification Requirements

Students in the Ph.D. program typically take a comprehensive series of courses in the area of their expertise, as well as several other courses in mathematics, physics, engineering and other related disciplines. There is also ENGN 2980: Reading, Research and Design, which can be taken for course credit. The number and choice of courses is made in close consultation with the student's advisor who must approve the student's choice at the beginning of each semester. Each research group can define specific courses, which are considered essential for their Ph.D. students.
TOEFL, the recommended minimum score for admission consideration is 577 on the paper-based test and 90 on the Internet-based test.
IELTS, the recommended minimum overall band score is 7.
