Under this secondary branch, the EE Department of Cornell University is divided into four small branches. The 1 branch is biological signal (system, and application), and the second branch is computer-aided diagnosis. The third branch is image analysis. There is a computer vision and image analysis group under these two branches, and the fourth branch is nano-biological application. These four branches constitute a big branch of bioelectronic engineering. Personally, I think this direction is a very promising direction. Although Cornell's direction is not big, personally, I think that in the near future, this direction of combining biological information and signals will be applied to various fields and become a relatively cutting-edge technology, which will quickly catch fire with the development and demand of society, so small branches are not necessarily worthless.
2. Computer engineering and digital systems.
This branch is a big branch of Cornell EE. Under this branch, there are four small branches, namely computer architecture, software and high-performance computing software. Vision and image processing VLSI circuits and systems. There are five related laboratories, namely computer system laboratory, architecture research group, fusion research group and computer vision and image analysis group. Visual communication laboratory, asynchronous VLSI and architecture research group, and photoelectric VLSI laboratory not only have these laboratories, but also have a very strong faculty in this branch. Many CE applicants come to this branch, so the competition is fierce.
3. Solid-state devices, electronics and photonics.
At Cornell University, this photoelectron branch is also a big branch under EE. Like the two branches mentioned above, this branch is also divided into four small branches, namely MEMS, optoelectronics and laser devices. Semiconductor physics and devices, VLSI and systems. There are common laboratories and project teams in the above two directions.
4. Information systems and networks.
This branch is a bright spot in the EE department. Although there are only three small branches, there are as many as 1 1 project groups, which is the branch with the largest number of project groups in the ee department and also has a large number of professors, occupying a considerable proportion in the EE department.
5. Space science and plasma physics.
This branch is the smallest branch of Cornell EE major, with only three small directions and five professors. These three small directions are atmospheric science, nuclear fusion and plasma physics, and global positioning system remote sensing. It is worth mentioning that the laboratory of GPS remote sensing direction? Global Positioning System Laboratory (GPSL)? This laboratory is an internationally renowned laboratory, which can accurately evaluate the impact of space apocalypse and the positioning accuracy of global navigation satellite system signals.
In Cornell, there have been many EE cows, but in terms of enrollment, this school is very strange and attaches great importance to the origin of the school. In Chinese mainland, only students from Tsinghua and Peking University can get an OFFER, while students from other schools can only get an AD, and the people they want are basically the school's 1 number.
