The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is looking for motivated PhD students to join us and work on the forefront of cutting-edge research in various exciting ECE areas. Our ECE@GWU PhD Recruiting Guide (PDF) highlights the many interesting research projects on which we currently work.
Graduate Research Assistantships are available for Ph.D. students interested in the these research projects:
- PhD students in computer architecture design including energy-efficient architectures, fault-tolerant multicore architectures, scalable accelerator-rich reconfigurable heterogeneous architectures, computing models related to machine learning (e.g., CNNs and DNNs), network-on-chips (NoCs), and cloud-computing; Postdocs in computer architecture, with emphasis on the design of scalable, power-efficient, and reliable NoCs for multi-core.
