The Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering:Systems offers degrees in the following Major Areas of Concentration:
1. Communications
 Research focuses on system design, optimization, and performance analysis as well as on the development of theory to characterize the fundamental limits of communication system performance, including its mathematical foundations. Areas of specialization include digital modulation, channel coding, source coding, information theory, optical communications, detection and estimation, spread spectrum communication, and multi-user communications and networks.
Faculty: Achilleas Anastasopoulos, Mingyan Liu, Petar Momcilovic, David Neuhoff, Sandeep Pradhan, Wayne Stark, Demosthenis Teneketzis, Kim Winick
2. Control
 Research focuses on fundamental properties of dynamical systems and developing algorithms to modify their behavior through control in order to satisfy performance objectives. Numerous system models are employed, including linear, nonlinear, stochastic, discrete event and queuing models. The faculty work on a wide variety of applications projects, including automotive powertrain control, manufacturing systems, communication networks, robotics, biped locomotion, aerospace, and intelligent transportation systems.
Faculty: Domitilla Del Vecchio, James Freudenberg, Jessy Grizzle, Stéphane Lafortune, Semyon Meerkov, and Demosthenis Teneketzis
3. Signal Processing
 Research in signal processing deals with the representation, manipulation, and analysis of signals, images, video, and other media. Much of the signal processing research is a collaborative activity within other areas of EECS, particularly in the areas of communication, electromagnetics, artificial intelligence, and biosystems. Furthermore there are active interdisciplinary collaborations with the departments of music, medicine, dentistry, biological sciences, genetics, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering and radiation sciences, statistics, biostatistics, and mathematics. Current projects include: image reconstruction, restoration, and segmentation; fast algorithms; tomography and other inverse problems; wavelets and time-frequency distributions; image and video coding; steganography and watermarking; signal detection and target tracking in electro-optical, acoustic and radar remote sensing; pattern recognition and pattern matching; parameter estimation and performance bounds. Applications include: bioinformatics; psychoacoustics; musical instrument sound synthesis and analysis; MIMO communications; packet switched networking; wireless sensor networks; neural measurements and analysis; medical imaging; and surveillance for security applications.
