PhD in Electrical Engineering The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied Science
Introduction
Program Overview
The Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering provides rising scholars and researchers to expand the field of electrical engineering through refined exploration into communications, power, and energy, and micro- and nano-electronics areas.
Students work directly with a faculty advisor to formulate their research focus, write and publish their dissertation, as well as participate actively in professional and research-focused conferences in the field of electrical engineering, such as IEEE.
Top research areas of the department:
- Applied electromagnetics
- Communications and networks
- Electrical power and energy
- Electronics, photonics, and MEMS (VLSI systems and microelectronics)
- Signal and image processing, systems and controls
Faculty Advisor & Research Area
We strongly recommended that prospective doctoral students determine a faculty member in the department with whom they would like to work and a research area of interest.
