Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering - Sensors

University of Cincinnati

From security and safety to monitoring and medicine, sensors are devices that measure change. A sensor can function as a diagnostic instrument such as detecting a virus with a device that uses blood or sweat or a mechanism like an Apple watch that detects your heart rate. Here at CEAS, innovations have included virus testing, sweat sensing, and blood testing to detect even the most novel diseases like COVID-19. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computing Systems offers the Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering.The graduate research environment provides excellent opportunities to work on exciting and challenging projects. Funding comes from national and state research agencies such as NSF, NIH, NASA, Army Research Office, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Office of Naval Research, and Ohio Department of Transportation. We have an excellent research and teaching facilities with 32 faculty members including research laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment in the areas of hardware and software systems, artificial intelligence, neural networks, image processing, electronic design automation, MEMS, microsensors, millimeter waves and photonics, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics.
