• Significant research programs in electrical engineering focus on carbon, diamond and silicon nanotechnology, hybrid and embedded systems, medical image processing, photonics, radiation effects and reliability and robotics.
  • Many faculty members are involved with the Institute for Software Integrated Systems and the Institute for Space and Defense Electronics, which support leading-edge basic and applied research important to critical commercial and government systems.
  • In addition, several faculty members are affiliated with the Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and the Vanderbilt Initiative in Surgery and Engineering.
  • The department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Vanderbilt University offers Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) degrees in Computer Science (CS).
  • The graduate program in CS is structured around six primary areas: (1) distributed and networked systems, (2) embedded and hybrid systems, (3) image processing and graphics, (4) intelligent systems, (5) software and systems engineering, and (6) theory.
  • The CS graduate program encourages both fundamental and interdisciplinary research.
  • State-of-the-art facilities that include computational resources, networks, and laboratories in several areas are available to support research activities.
