电气工程哲学博士

电气工程专业的学生有机会参与推动这些变化的研究，从而有可能影响从医疗保健到教育，运输，国防和环境等几乎每个人类系统。电气工程领域的重要研究计划集中于碳，金刚石和硅纳米技术，混合和嵌入式系统，医学图像处理，光子学，辐射效应和可靠性以及机器人技术。许多教职员工都参与了软件集成系统研究所和太空与国防电子研究所，这些研究所支持对关键的商业和政府系统至关重要的前沿基础和应用研究。此外，范德比尔特纳米科学与工程学院和范德比尔特外科与工程学院也有几位教职员工。
Our Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is home for world-class teaching and research, specializing in interdisciplinary research in devices, systems, and signals. Electrical and Computer Engineers design the technologies behind all modern electronics, including the computational devices, computational materials, signal processing, and machine learning as these systems interact with the physical world. We pride ourselves on immersive education, creative problem solving, close mentorship, and interdisciplinary research. Our focus areas are in:<br><br>Electronic devices, circuits, and computing hardware<br>Design and analysis of digital devices integrated with physical systems<br>Signal & image processing, communications, computer vision, and control systems<br>Photonics and optoelectronics<br>Our curriculum emphasizes problem solving, design experiences, and immersive education. Across our degree programs, we emphasize devices, system engineering, and signal processing / machine learning. Our curricula are flexible to allow specialization within focus areas. Our faculty and students have close relationships with Vanderbilt's trans-departmental institutes, including Institute for Space Defense Electronics (ISDE), Institute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS), Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE) , and Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE). We have deep research relationships with Vanderbilt University Medical Center ranging from biocompatible devices, nano sensing systems, medical imaging, and surgical engineering.
