Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Communications, Networking and Security: Fees & Entry Requirements at Rochester Institute of Technology, USA
It is no accident that our digital world’s currency, the bit, originated with Claude Shannon’s seminal work in the field of Information Theory: the ''Theory of Communication.'' Our information age depends on the ability to communicate information securely. At RIT, our faculty and students are dedicated to researching multiple aspects of communications and networking technology. Research projects in this area involve the study of such diverse issues as 5G and B5G (beyond 5G) communications, electromagnetics of wireless networks-on-chips, theoretical modeling and measurement of microstrip antennas and integrated microwave circuits, Wearables and Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), cognitive radios and networks, dynamic spectrum sharing, MIMO wireless communications, and advanced fiber-optics networks.
