Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering - Smart Buildings

University of Cincinnati

These are automated processes made possible by smart building research. A smart building uses sensors, microchips, and actuators to collect data and manage the system being used. This technology offers energy reduction management and optimizes space use. 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.
