One of the oldest Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) departments in the country, the ECE department at Pitt is home to 37 full-time faculty members, 400 undergraduate students, and 160 graduate students. The department provides access to world-class research infrastructure including the Nanoscale Fabrication and Characterization Facility (NFCF), a cleanroom user facility in Benedum Hall offering researchers access to state-of-the-art e-beam lithography, deposition, and etching tools alongside advanced electron microscopy; the newly-commissioned Western Pennsylvania Quantum Information Core (WPQIP) facility with cutting edge equipment for fabrication and characterization of quantum devices and materials; and the Energy Innovation Center (EIC), which houses several Pitt laboratories and startup incubator space for industry-engaged research. The ECE faculty also benefit from the University’s Center for Research Computing and Data (CRCD), which operates a large multi-thousand-core cluster with GPU co-processors and PhD-level consulting staff. Pitt ECE also leads the NSF Center for Space, High-performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC), an Industry-University Cooperative Research Center advancing mission-critical computing for space science, defense, and resilient systems. Finally, the department’s deep ties to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), one of the nation’s largest academic medical centers, creates exceptional opportunities for collaborative, translational research bridging engineering and the biomedical sciences.
