Research and faculty
Electrical and computer engineering students at Wayne State are positioned to provide leadership in emerging growth areas that will shape the future, including:
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Computer systems and networks
- Intelligent control and robotics
- Nanotechnology and system-on-chip
- Power and energy systems
- Signal processing and communications
Wayne State researchers have effective engineering design capabilities and an awareness of cost, safety, sustainability and accessibility. Applications of their work include:
- Development of smaller, cheaper and more powerful computers, microprocessors and other data processors stemming from advances in solid-state and integrated circuit technology and their utilization in a growing range of system applications
- Growing use of data communications and sophisticated satellite communication networks
- Use of lasers, and the development of fiber optic and integrated optical devices for various applications ranging from optical data processing to communication
- Development of sophisticated control techniques, remote sensors and transducers for advanced automation and electric power systems
- Application of electronics to health care and diagnostics (such as noninvasive measurements and ultrasound imaging)
- Energy conversion devices
The recently renovated College of Engineering building contains seven instructional and eight research laboratories, including a clean-room facility and computer labs.
Highlights
As an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to work at WSU’s Fiber Optics Lab, which was a great experience working with some of the best research professors and graduate students. They guided me to eventually seek and complete my doctorate.
