Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

If you have a passion for research, we have the opportunities you are looking for.

Whether your plans for the future involve taking your research expertise into industry or continuing your research activities in the academic sphere, the Electrical/Computer Engineering will prepare you to meet tomorrow’s challenges through participation in some of the most exciting, productive — and relevant — research/projects in the country.

MSEE research spans Electric power/energy, embedded systems & system on chip, wireless communications, Applications of Artificial intelligence to prosthetics, Nano and Biosensors, Robotics and Autonomy.

Below are some of the past and on-going research by ECE faculty:
