Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering- Photonics, Plasmonics, Electromagnetics and Optoelectronics

Research in this domain in our Department covers semiconductor optoelectronics, lasers, photonics, multispectral optical sensing and Imaging, optical systems, lidar, applied electromagnetics, printed-circuit, dielectric resonator, and wire antennas, ,millimeter wave guiding structures and radiators, and reduced surface wave microstrip antennas.

Electrical and computer engineering graduate students at the University of Houston have the opportunity to work with and learn from faculty recognized as world leaders in their fields. These include Fellows of the IEEE and the National Academy of Inventors, multiple NSF CAREER Award winners, and investigators in major research projects supported by NASA, DARPA, NIH, ARPA-E and the NSF. ECE graduate students can also take full advantage of the college?s location in Houston. Many department researchers work closely with firms in the energy industry, allowing them to address the sector?s most pressing needs. Faculty also have ongoing collaborations with physicians and researchers at Texas Medical Center institutions, enabling them to bring advances from the lab to the clinic as quickly as possible. Regardless of their career objectives ? whether obtaining an R&D post in academia or expanding their skillset for work as a practicing engineer ? students can take advantage of these opportunities thanks to the different degree plans offered by the department.

The Ph.D. is a research-intensive degree that prepares students for a research and development career in industry or academia. Given the research focus of the Ph.D., applicants must have a deep affinity for their research topic and be fully committed to completing their degree and contributing to their discipline. There are two paths to the Ph.D.: Directly from B.S. to Ph.D., bypassing the M.S. degree, which is recommended for motivated, top-performing candidates with a clear idea of what they want to accomplish in their field of study. and Obtaining a M.S. degree (at UH or elsewhere) prior to Ph.D. studies. This is recommended for students who are still forming a clear vision of their future career objectives.
