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.
Overcoming Computing Limitations
Dr. Volker Sorger is the lead principal investigator on a project to develop future nano-photonic neuromorphic processors inspired by the brain to overcome current computing limitations. He is working with Dr. Tarek El-Ghazawi and a Princeton colleague.
