US Department of Education
DOCTORAL
FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE
at
OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY
The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has recently been awarded a large, prestigious Department of Education Grant (for Graduate Assistants in Areas of National Need - GAANN) to fund U.S. national doctoral students in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The philosophy of our small, but selective, department is to focus on research areas in which our faculty have made significant contributions. Areas of particular strength in which it is anticipated that these fellowships will be awarded are:
· Physical Electronics
Ultrafast
Laser Applications; Surface Science; Bioelectrical Effects; Non-Intrusive
Measurements with Lasers; Fiber Bragg Gratings; Gaseous Electronics, including
Micro-Hollow Cathode Discharges; Microelectronics; Modeling of Ultrafast
Processes in Semiconductors; Diamond Films; Electromagnetic Wave Propagation;
Satellite and LIDAR Remote Sensing Measurements of the Atmosphere.
· Digital Signal Processing
Speech
Communication; Real-time Digital Signal Processing; Digital System Design;
Biomedical Applications of Microprocessors
· Control Engineering
Nonlinear
Control Theory; Computer Vision; Artificial Intelligence Applications
· Computer Engineering
The
department has a rapidly growing activity in Computer Engineering and plays a
vital role in state-of-the-art modeling and simulation activities through the
Virginia Modeling and Simulation Center (VMASC).
