<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent:.25in"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The GAANN Fellowship program is open to all qualifying current and prospective students interested in intensive research at the graduate level and teaching
activities. Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio University
</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">prepares students to take on a wide variety of research tasks surrounding electromagnetism, electricity, electronics, and novel information technologies. Courses deliver breadth and depth of
knowledge on principles and fundamental concepts of Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electromagnetism, and novel Electronics. The GAANN awardees will pursue required coursework, a three-part comprehensive examination, and independent
research, and will be trained to become successful academic instructors, mentors, and researchers. Our coursework reflects the diverse expertise of our faculty and addresses the current trends and technologies shaping the profession today. The GAANN students
will have the opportunity to enhance their class experience when joining faculty research focused on solving real-world problems. Research in the School of EECS includes world-class research in EE areas of avionics and navigation, communications and signal
processing, controls, computer engineering, computer architecture, networking, electromagnetics, opto- and nano-electronics, industrial controls, and analog and digital circuits, and in CS areas of algorithm design, theory of computation, software verification
and certification, security, programming languages, computer networking, artificial intelligence, robotics, bioinformatics, visualization, and image processing. Please visit the website for more information on the GAANN Fellowship in Electrical Engineering
