Outstanding Students

Electrical Engineering has outstanding undergraduate students. Claire Lochner and Christopher Llop are two examples of this excellence. Each student was a recipient of a national scholarship award. >>
Research Spotlight

Nanoelectronics

Professor Bird's research is focused on understanding novel quantum phenomena in nanostructures like the 30-nanometer wide nickel silicide nanowire (red line in picture). >>

InGaN/GaN Multiple Quantum Well Structure

A false color image obtained by an EE lab with a streak camera showing the ultra-fast (picosecond) time-resolved photoluminescence of an InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum well. The camera obtains images with a time resolution of 20 ps.>>

Trapping microspheres using a laser beam

IIn a collaboration between an EE group and several other departments, an EE graduate student has demonstrated the ability to trap 2.5um diameter polysterene microspheres in a matrix using a single scanning laser beam.>>
Research Spotlight

Analog VLSI Design

EE faculty are working in analog VLSI design, a small but growing field that draws principles from both analog and digital design to create systems that perform specific functions such as stereopsis processors and robot path planning circuits.>>
Research Spotlight

Electron-beam lithography

To demonstrate electron-beam lithography as a nanofabrication process, two EE undergraduate students produced a chromium UB emblem on a silicon substrate, with a minimum line-width of about 5 nanometers.>>
Research Spotlight

Solar Cells using Nanowires

A concept for solar cells for space-based electrical power under investigation by an EE researcher involves 5-10 micron thick microcrystalline Si films on flexible substrates topped with nanowires (shown here) that provide high optical absorption.>>
Research Spotlight

Self-Passivating Tandem Solar Cell Device

EE faculty are developing nanostructured solar cells that exploit Multiple Exciton Generation (MEG) in nanocrystal quantum dots. The image shows the device structure schematic on the left and the actual micrograph of the fabricated structure. >>
Research Spotlight

Porous Polymer Photonic Bandgap Structures

NIH has funded EE faculty researchers to develop novel colorimetric sensors based on a novel holographic interferometry method for producing 1-D, 2-D and 3-D photonic bandgap structures. These structures are being studied for applications in wound healing. >>
Research Spotlight

3D Microfabrication

Professor Y.K. Yoon is developing computer controlled multidirectional (3D) ultraviolet (UV) lithography. An example of a fabricated resulair-lifted screwed wind vane array that could be used as terahertz antennas or micro-turbines is shown in the figure. >>
