Geoff Twardokus, a student in the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering program, presented his work “Vehicle-to-Nothing? Securing C-V2X Against Protocol-Aware DoS Attacks” on May 5, 2022 at the IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications (IEEE INFOCOM).

During the RIT Doctoral Hooding Ceremony on May 6, 2022, three students from the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering program received their doctoral degrees.

RIT graduate degree programs in engineering, science, and business were featured in the U.S. News & World Report 2023 edition of Best Graduate Schools, released in March.

RIT’s strategic plan calls for adding six to 12 new Ph.D. programs and conferring 50 doctoral degrees every year by 2025. The university already reached the latter goal with 51 Ph.D. degrees conferred in the 2020-2021 academic year.

Cecilia Alm, an associate professor in RIT’s College of Liberal Arts, was awarded nearly $2 million by the National Science Foundation to lead a team of RIT faculty addressing a lack of diversity in the artificial intelligence research community and gaps in AI curricula.

January 15, 2022 is the application deadline for the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering program. 

Dr. Daniel Kaputa, director of Ravven Labs, is seeking a Ph.D. student to start in January 2022 in his lab to work on artificial intelligence, stereo vision, and UAV systems as they pertain to embedded systems and the Mathworks auto-coding tool flows.

What if computing materials were sourced in conflict areas? Or manufactured in facilities that emit higher than average toxic emissions? Researchers today are examining the development of computing systems from a different perspective, one more in line with sustainability rather than just power, performance and speed.

The electrical and computer engineering Ph.D. program welcomes new faculty member, Dongfang Liu and celebrates the achievements of associate professor, Panos Markopoulos.

Dr. Cory Merkel, an assistant professor in RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering and director of RIT's Brain Lab, will be presenting his work on neurochip applications at the 2021 Intelligence in Chip: Tomorrow of Integrated Circuits (ICTIC).

Dr. Andres Kwasinski, a professor in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering, and Dr. Fatemeh Shah-Mohammadi, an alumna of RIT's engineering Ph.D. program, have been granted a patent for the invention of a radio spectrum sharing leveraging link adaptation in primary network.

Dimitris Chachlakis became the first student to be awarded the new Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering this May from RIT. The new degree builds upon the Ph.D. in engineering, a multi-disciplinary degree established several years ago, and since then refined into three distinct programs.
