Research

Where the physical meets the virtual, that's our giant leap.

The Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has a rich history of research and education that dates back to 1888. Many landmark innovations in radiotelephony, television, and electric power were developed by Purdue ECE faculty - innovations that have helped shape the modern world. In that same tradition of research excellence, our faculty continues to pioneer new technical frontiers. With more than 120 of the nation’s finest researchers, ECE faculty and students publish hundreds of papers annually in top quality journals and conference proceedings.
