Faculty and students in GW's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) work together in classrooms and laboratories to develop technology-oriented solutions to many of today's real-world challenges.
Individualizing Cybersecurity
Drs. Tian Lan and Guru Venkataramani are developing a way to keep computer systems safer from would-be hackers with a new approach that would eliminate security loopholes before they can be exploited.
Creating a Highly Efficient Solar Cell
Research Scientist Dr. Matthew Lumb is leading a research effort to develop a new, high performance concentrator photovoltaic module that is fully integrated with conventional flat plate photovoltaic technology and able to produce an extremely high efficiency solar module.
Dr. Sorger Wins PECASE
Dr. Volker Sorger was named recently as a winner of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), a very prestigious award bestowed on scientists and engineers by the US government.
Features

News
Drs. Tarek El-Ghazawi and Volker Sorger have received a 3-year $675K award from the Airforce Office of Scientific Research
The new project is titled RANC: A Residue Arithmetic Nanophotonic Computer. The goal of the project is to develop an integrated photonics computing system (from device to architecture) based on the residue number system (RNS) to achieve orders of magnitude improvements in computational speed per watt, over the current state-of-the-art, while again computing at the speed of the light.Drs. Sorger and El-Ghazawi awarded a $3M grant from ONR
The project entitled 'Photonic Convolutional Processor for Network Edge Computing' develops an accelerator for feature extraction known as convolutional neural network.Dr. Sorger wins Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers
