Theory of Computation

The department is enthusiastically and vigorously involved in research, technical publication, and graduate instruction at the forefront of the field. The areas of emphasis are:

  • Theory of computation, including foundations, complexity, algorithm analysis, parallelism, and graph theory.

  • Computer systems, including microprocessor applications, advanced computer architecture, neural networks, fuzzy logic, parallel processing, VLSI testing techniques, fault tolerant design, software metrics, and software engineering.

  • Control systems, including classical and modern control theory and applications.

  • Communications and signal processing, including computer networks and image processing systems.

  • Bioengineering and biometric systems including biosignal processing, bioinstrumentation, telemedicine, biometric devices, and algorithms.

  • Electric power systems and power electronics, including stability and control, transients, and steady state analysis, real time control, protection, electric machines, drives, and advanced motion controllers, electric and hybrid electric vehicles.

  • Microelectronic and photonic systems, including integrated electronic, optoelectronic, and optical devices and circuits, VLSI, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and microfabrication.

  • Software engineering, including reuse and portability, verification and validation, language issues, and user interface issues.
