Applied Electromagnetics
EECS researchers investigate electromagnetic phenomena-as described by Maxwell's theory-including radiation, propagation, and scattering. They develop mathematical tools to analyze and evaluate electromagnetic solutions to practical electrical engineering devices, systems, and problems. EECS research in Applied Electromagnetics encompasses communications and sensing.
