Electrical and Systems Engineering
ESE 3990-001 – Reinforcement Learning: In Theory and In Practice
Description: TBD
Instructor: Dr. Antonio Loquercio, Assistant Professor in ESE
ESE 3990-002 – Engineering Electromagnetics
Description: This course provides an intermediate treatment of engineering electromagnetics, emphasizing Maxwell’s equations in fully differential form and their application to radiation, wave phenomena, and interactions with matter. Topics include vector calculus treatments of electrostatics and magnetostatics, time-varying fields, vector and scalar potentials, wave propagation from a potential formulation, antenna radiation, diffraction and interference, electromagnetic fields in matter (dielectrics and conductors), waveguides, metamaterials, plasmas, and field interactions with atomic systems (with an eye towards quantum engineering). Permission requests are required for all students.

Instructor: Dr. Jing Li, Associate Professor in ESE
ESE 6800-002 – Radio Frequency Microtechnology
Description: Passive radio frequency (RF) components, such as filters and switches, define the performance (e.g. range, data rate, size, power consumption, etc.) of modern wireless systems. A new wave of RF microdevices has emerged in 5G cellular communications systems, with continued evolution in preparation for the roll out of 6G. This course will introduce the state-of-the art in the materials, fabrication, and design of RF microtechnology components. The course will also evaluate the performance of various filter and switch microtechnologies in the context of the demanding requirements of current (5G) and future (6G/satellite internet) wireless systems. This course is designed for advanced undergraduates, Masters, and Ph.D. students. A basic understanding of circuit analysis techniques and solid-state device physics is recommended as a prerequisite. Permission requests are required for all students.
Instructor: Dr. Troy Olsson, Professor in ESE
