电气和计算机工程哲学博士-天线

Electrical and computer engineers shape the future through innovation. They develop and improve systems that serve everyday needs of society spanning from high-voltage engineering and sustainable energy, to breakthroughs in wireless technology. Our faculty and students do everything from creating low-cost digital x-ray imagers to combat tuberculosis in developing countries, to building real-time embedded systems to advance the design and reliability of commercial products. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is founded on leading engineering education and research, a world-renowned co-operative study program, and a bold history of innovation. Waterloo Engineering is ranked among the top 50 engineering schools in the world, our ECE department is committed to sustaining that excellence in our areas of research while venturing into growing areas of opportunity. We attract the best and brightest students and faculty from around the globe, and our graduates are recruited worldwide by leading engineering firms, corporations, government agencies, and research-intensive universities. A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is ideal for students pursuing a career in fundamental or applied research in academia, government, or corporate environments.<br><br>The main thrust in this area is the application of electromagnetics to a wide range of engineering systems and devices including antennas, circuits and systems over the RF/microwave, millimeter-wave/THz, and optical range of frequencies. Research and teaching in this area cover underlying theoretical development and computational methods for investigation and exploration of novel engineered materials and device/system concepts, computational methods for simulation and design optimization, and measurement and characterization methods. Electromagnetic and photonic devices and systems are the main enablers of optical communication systems/components, modern sensor/imaging technologies, and ultra-high speed electronics, nano-photonics, and quantum optics. In addition, numerous emerging areas such as eHealth/mobile-Health, smart energy systems, environmental monitoring and remote sensing, as well as their component technologies (wireless bio-medical devices and implants, lab-on-chip, nano-photonics, nano-electromagnetic sensor and actuators, etc.), which form essential infrastructure of the future knowledge-based green society, heavily depend on progress in research and availability of expertise in these areas.
