 Electrical
and Computer Engineering
|
 |
The
faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
conduct research in various areas including Computer architecture,
computer networking, wireless communication, control theory,
digital signal processing, distance learning, electromagnetics, optics, power systems
and power quality.
Research in the computer architecture area involves
design and implementation of efficient block
replacement algorithms for CPU cache and Disk
Cache. The computing facilities in the CARG lab are used to conduct this research. |
|
Research in
the area of digital signal processing includes analysis and
architecture of delta-sigma data converters and speech processing for the hearing impaired.
Research in distance learning includes remote control and
monitoring of laboratory equipment. The objective is to allow students to perform lab
experiments from remote locations using only a web browser.
Present work in electromagnetics consists of experimental research into the electromagnetic (lightning) protection
integrity of systems in aging aircraft. |

Research
in the area of optics includes optical sensors, networking
and computing. Optical sensors are
being designed for ice detection ice
for aircraft and communication antennas. Experimental
research is being performed in optical
switching for applications in telecommunications. In optical computing, experimental research is being conducted in optical neural computing
architectures as well as theoretical
work in quantum computing.
Research
in the area of power systems includes development of the
Jacobian Matrix for Power System flow Analysis, Dynamic and
Voltage Collapse Stability in Power Systems, and modeling and simulation of static shunt reactive power compensators
for quasi-steady-state studies |

Research
activities in the Department are currently funded by ADMRC, Cisco Systems, DEPSCoR, DoD,
FAA, NIAR, NSF, NSF/EPSCoR, Raytheon/Crosspan
Telecommunication, NeoReach, Western Resources.
