Research Groups
Analog and Mixed Signal
Analog and Mixed Signal Research areas in the Analog and Mixed Signal Center include high speed electrical and optical I/O interfaces, Clock recovery systems, RF transceivers, Harvesting circuits, RF MEMS, active and passive sensors, mmwave circuits, robust signal processing, low-voltage, high-performance analog circuit design; analog mixed-mode fault diagnosis of integrated circuits, Power Management and Bio-Medical Circuits and Systems.
Biomedical Imaging and Genomic Signal Processing
The Biomedical Imaging group brings together faculty members from a number of different disciplines within Electrical Engineering to focus on the acquisition and analysis of biomedical images. A set of core courses provides the student with a background in both medical imaging instrumentation and image processing and analysis, and elective courses are available in both areas. Laboratories have been established in computer-assisted diagnostics, magnetic resonance imaging and optical imaging.
Computer Engineering and Systems
Computer Engineering offers research opportunities in the areas of Computer Communications and Networks, multimedia, storage systems, parallel and distributed computing and architecture, fault-tolerant computing and design for testing, computer aided design and testing tools, VLSI design and technologies, high-speed networks and architecture, intelligent systems and controls, and real-time systems and their architecture.
Electromagnetics and Microwaves
Research activities in electromagnetics and microwaves span a broad spectrum of applications. In particular the theoretical and experimental aspects of antennas, electromagnetic theory, electromagnetic wave scattering, active and passive microwave and millimeter wave circuits, linear and non-linear optical or microwave guiding systems, and microstrip antennas.
