Faculty in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering participate in a wide variety of research topics related to electronics and biotechnology. Research projects include those in which faculty serve as individual investigators as well as those supported by multi-disciplinary teams from different departments throughout the campus.
Within the department, there is a critical mass of faculty to support large-scale research efforts particularly in two areas: sustainable energy and biomedical engineering.
Sustainable Energy
Within the area of sustainable energy, the department has
faculty addressing a number of issues related to distributed power generation.
Faculty are addressing issues related to small- and mid-scale power generation
(e.g., wind, solar, geothermal) as well as how such energy sources can
be incorporated within the existing grid system for power distribution.
Biomedical Engineering
Within biomedical engineering there is an emphasis on biosensors,
biomedical imaging and studies of the effects of electromagnetic radiation
on excitable cells and tissues.
FACILITIES
Hands-on experience is one of the most effective ways to learn electrical engineering. The Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering participates in university-wide and College of Engineering computer centers with Internet access as well as local PC systems. Additional lab facilities for study and research include:
- control systems
- image processing
- power and machines
- radio frequency & microwaves
