ECE Research Areas

The ECE department is home to a broad array of research activities. Students interested in participating in research should contact faculty who are working in their area of interest. Information about research assistantship opportunities can be found here.

Environmental Sensing and Monitoring (ESM) and Power Engineering are growing research areas in the ECE department:

Environmental Sensing and Monitoring

At Portland State, we focus on the Electrical Engineering challenges associated with the future of environmental sensing and monitoring.

ESM Focus Area

Power Engineering

The Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at Portland State University currently has three areas focused on electric power: Dr. Bass's Power Engineering Group, Dr. Bird's Laboratory for Magnetomechanical Energy Conversion & Control and Dr. Gupta's Power Electronic Conversion Group.
