Electromagnetics & Photonics
Our Electromagnetics and Photonics research stream maintains world-class standing in both graduate training and research.
The Electromagnetic Optimization team (Prof. Bakr) develops new modeling, adjoint-sensitivity analysis, and optimization approaches for high and low-frequency engineering applications. The adjoint sensitivities are applied to the design of electric motors for hybrid and electric cars. The team is also developing design approaches for cloaking devices, for THz antenna arrays, and for energy harvesting devices and systems, including nano antennas, MIM, and MIIM diodes operating in the THz regime.
The Electromagnetic Vision (EMvi) Research Laboratory (Prof. Nikolova) works on radio-frequency, microwave and millimeter-wave systems for the near-field imaging and detection of optically obscured objects. Some of the exciting research projects include:
- radar security and surveillance systems for the detection of weapons concealed under the clothing
- early-stage breast cancer detection, and (iii) detection of structural flaws in hulls and pipes under protective coatings.
The Photonics team develops new integrated photonic devices (Prof. Li) as well as systems for fiber-optic links and networks (Prof. Kumar). Recent research projects include:
- high-speed directly modulated distributed feedback laser (DFB-DML)
- III-V/Si hybrid laser (Si-photonics laser)
- broadband, high-sensitivity optically pre-amplified Si-Ge photo-detector (Si-Ge SOA-PIN)
- surface plasmonic polariton (SPP) waveguides and devices
- direct image transmission through multimode fiber
- digital and optical backpropagation techniques for fiber nonlinearity mitigation
- optical OFDM systems

Microelectronics & VLSI
The microelectronics research focuses on microelectronic, nanoelectronic and optoelectronic components and systems.
A major research focus is on nanoelectronic, optoelectronic and nanotechnology-based components and systems for information and communication systems, as well for health and environmental applications. Faculty are actively researching low-cost manufacturing technologies for sensors and integrated sensor systems for water quality and other environmental monitoring applications, and developing smart home hardware and software technologies for elderly health-care. Ongoing projects address high performance single photon detectors, time-to-digital converters, digital silicon photomultipliers, high-speed, high-sensitivity imagers, quantum dot photodetectors, and time-domain functional imaging systems for emerging biomedical/biochemical/medical/environmental applications. Design and test research tackles the rapid increase in the complexity of digital very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and enables novel applications on reconfigurable hardware. Other research and technology development involves nanotechnology-based sensing and imaging systems using our state-of-the-art heterogeneous integration, characterization, and evaluation facilities. Basic research is also being performed on device physics, modeling and reliability, low noise issues, development of novel characterization techniques, and organic/polymeric and other printable or hand-drawn semiconductor devices.

Optimization, Learning & Control
A number of faculty members in the department have been pursuing research interests that fall within the broad spectrum of the disciplines of optimization, learning and control in electrical and computer engineering.
Pioneering work in the development of the space mapping optimization technique has enabled rapid optimization of high-fidelity systems and devices that rely on complex multi-physics simulations at substantially reduced computational cost. Applications of optimization techniques in the design and control of communication systems, modern power and energy systems, and electrified transportation systems have been of particular interest. Pioneering research in Cognitive Systems has focused on the areas of Cognitive Radio Networks, Cognitive Radar and Cognitive Control. Emerging applications of estimation, learning and control in self-driving cars and unmanned aerial vehicles and robots are also being pursued.
