Doutor em Filosofia em Engenharia Elétrica (Ph.D.)

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.

There are plenty of good engineering schools in the U.S., but how far can well take you when your goal is to engineer better? At the George Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, students work with professors at the top of their fields and gain access to innovative resources in one of most dynamic, research-driven centers in the world. We offer master's, Ph.D., and certificate programs across a wide range of engineering and technological fields, including:

• Biomedical engineering
• Civil and environmental engineering
• Computer engineering
• Computer science
• Construction Engineering
• Cybersecurity in computer science
• Data analytics
• Electrical engineering
• Engineering management
• Mechanical and aerospace engineering
• Regulatory biomedical engineering
