Research Areas

The department is engaged in four broad overlapping areas of research:

Computer Engineering
Theoretical and experimental research in: Fault-tolerant computing, digital system testing, computer architecture, computer-aided design, parallel processing, video signal processing architectures, neural computing, computer security, multimedia, high-level synthesis, hardware-software cosynthesis, low-power design, performance evaluation, embedded computational systems, and biological computing.
Faculty active in these research areas: Niraj K. Jha, Sun-Yuan Kung, Ruby B. Lee, Sharad Malik, Margaret R. Martonosi, Li-Shiuan Peh, Ron Weiss, Wayne Wolf.

Electronic Materials and Devices
Theoretical and experimental research in: Solid-state electronics, solid-state physics, physical electronics, electronic materials, and the physical aspects of electronic technology in general.
Faculty active in these research areas: Ravindra N. Bhatt, Stephen Y. Chou, Stephen R. Forrest, Antoine Kahn, Stephen A. Lyon, Paul R. Prucnal, Mansour Shayegan, James C. Sturm, Daniel C. Tsui, Sigurd Wagner.

Information Sciences and Systems
Theoretical and experimental research in: Communication networks, wireless communications, information theory, wireless multimedia, signal and image processing, multiresolution signal analysis, video coding, and adaptive and learning systems. Research is oriented toward theoretical work in conjunction with the use of computers for system simulation and optimization.
Faculty active in these research areas: Bradley Dickinson, Hisashi Kobayashi, Sanjeev Kulkarni, Bede Liu, H. Vincent Poor, Stuart Schwartz, Peter Ramadge, Sergio Verdu.

Optics and Optical Electronics
Theoretical and experimental research in: optical communications, optoelectronic devices, nonlinear optics, and optical systems design, with applications to optical networks, telecommunications systems, and multiprocessor interconnects. Projects range from areas such as photonic device (for example, lasers and detectors) fabrication and characterization, ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy, photonic switching, spatial and temporal solitons, broadband optical networks, optical computing, and smart pixels.
Faculty active in these research areas: Stephen Forrest, Hisashi Kobayashi, Evgenii Narimanov, Paul Prucnal, James C. Sturm.
