PhD in Computer Engineering - Computing and Networking Systems in Ames United States | Iowa State University

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) provides four pathways to obtain graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering: a thesis-based Master of Science, a creative component Master of Science, a conventional Ph.D., and a direct entry Ph.D. Ph.D. candidates have completed their programs in as little as four years, while master's students typically finish within two years. Additionally, students can choose ECpE as their primary department for interdisciplinary graduate studies in bioinformatics and computational biology (Ph.D.), information security (MS, Ph.D.), or human-computer interaction (MS, Ph.D., and certificate programs).
We are committed to progressing the principles and applications of computing and networking systems, with emphasis on performance, efficiency, security, reliability, and trustworthiness. Research efforts encompass creating secure and energy-efficient microarchitectures, engineering embedded systems, high-performance processors, and memory architectures, constructing sophisticated data storage solutions, pioneering low-power IoT technologies, and developing cutting-edge network infrastructures like 5G and future generations.
