Living organisms exhibit some of the most complex functionalities known to science. Engaging with these biological systems at an advanced level is crucial for improving healthcare, protecting ecosystems, and expanding scientific knowledge. The field of electrical engineering offers essential instruments and methods for this engagement, ranging from various sensing and actuation techniques to data processing algorithms and computational systems for implementing sophisticated controls. The growing quantitative approach to biology both motivates and benefits from these engineering solutions, creating a vital link between electrical engineering and life sciences. Effectively leveraging this connection demands thorough knowledge of biological principles alongside core electrical engineering concepts. Princeton fosters this expertise through cross-disciplinary investigations that bridge the physical sciences, medical fields, and broader societal applications.
