Electrical and Computer Engineering Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering
ECE is home to internationally recognized leaders in lasers and photonics – a field that pushes the frontiers of light to enable technologies of the future, from lasers for advanced medical devices to fiber optics for global communications. Boasting one of the most powerful lasers in the world, known as ALEPH, we are proud to be a part of LaserNetUS – a network of facilities operating high-power lasers.
ECE also leads the RISE inertial fusion energy (IFE) hub – one of only three IFE hubs in the nation funded by the DOE.
Research is primarily focused on creating ultrahigh energy density plasmas by interacting highly relativistic short pulse lasers with high aspect ratio nanowire arrays.
