PhD in Electrical Engineering in Portland United States | Northeastern University

Northeastern's Electrical Engineering PhD program enables students to conduct pioneering research across diverse specializations including: Signal/image analysis, biomedical signal processing with brain-machine interfaces, pattern identification, adaptive signal systems, wireless/underwater communication networks, information theory and coding methods, resilient and decentralized control systems, optical/photonic/acoustic/magnetic sensor technologies, RF chip architecture, digital/mixed-signal IC design, ultra-low-power VLSI systems, power grid modeling for both standard and fault conditions, power conversion systems (dc-dc, inverters, rectifiers, ac-ac), and power electronics modulation techniques.
The Electrical Engineering PhD (PhDEE) is a research-intensive program featuring adaptable course requirements, available for both full-time and part-time study. Each student's curriculum is tailored to their dissertation focus and academic background, incorporating a complementary minor field outside their primary research area. This secondary concentration may involve another ECE subfield or a related technical/scientific discipline. Candidates may apply with either a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely aligned field.
