Electrical Sciences and Computer Engineering
The Electrical Sciences and Computer Engineering (ESCE) Group at Brown is supported by the state-of-the-art laboratories of individual faculty members and by an array of central facilities in microfabrication, Man/Machine systems, electron microscopy and characterization.
The broad and rapidly growing fields of electrical sciences and computer engineering encompass studies of electronic and photonic phenomena in the development of micro, nano, and molecular devices and structures as well as studies of computer architecture, hardware and VLSI design, multi-media signal and image processing, and control systems.
The faculty members and graduate students in the ESCE Group have been awarded a large number of prestigious international and national prizes, medals and fellowships for their pioneering contributions. Some faculty members are leading national initiatives at the forefront of electrical sciences and computer engineering.
With diverse science and engineering backgrounds - spanning across physics, engineering, math, materials, chemistry and biology - faculty members and students are currently engaged in wide-ranging investigations. Areas of particular strength at Brown include: micro lasers, photonic devices and integrated optics; nanoelectronic and quantum devices; nano-magnetics; DNA engineering and molecular electronics; liquid crystal displays, guided wave devices, and spintronics; 2D and 3D shape representation and recovery; image processing and computer vision; microphone arrays; real-time and talker-independent recognition; digital halftoning of color images; lower-power microprocessor design; medical imaging segmentation, registration, measurement, and visualization; system modeling, control, and parameter identification; high-performance microprocessing; reconfigurable architecture; synthesis of low-power VLSI.
