Project Ideas for Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Quantum, photonic, and cyber-physical discoveries powering tomorrow.

🏛 Introduction

UIUC’s ECE PhD nurtures scientists crafting 2 nm transistors, terahertz imagers, and AI-defined power grids. Doctoral candidates pattern qubits in the MNTL cleanroom, script photonic inverse-design on supercomputers, and secure IoT at scale with formal methods. Cross-cuts with Materials Science, CS, and NCSA supercomputing multiply impact.
