Program Overview
The Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering provides rising scholars and researchers to expand the field of electrical engineering through refined exploration into communications, power, and energy, and micro- and nano-electronics areas.
Students work directly with a faculty advisor to formulate their research focus, write and publish their dissertation, as well as participate actively in professional and research-focused conferences in the field of electrical engineering, such as IEEE.
Top research areas of the department:
- Applied electromagnetics
- Communications and networks
- Electrical power and energy
- Electronics, photonics, and MEMS (VLSI systems and microelectronics)
- Signal and image processing, systems and controls
Faculty Advisor & Research Area
We strongly recommended that prospective doctoral students determine a faculty member in the department with whom they would like to work and a research area of interest.
