Project Ideas for Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Create devices and systems that underpin the connected world.

🏛 Introduction

CMU’s ECE PhD offers unmatched breadth—from quantum devices to smart-grid autonomy. Dissertation tracks blend theory and fabrication; you might tape-out neuromorphic ASICs, model mm-wave beam-forming, or secure grid inverters against cyber-threats. Partnerships with industry fab nodes and DOE labs provide real-world impact and resources.
