Communications
Explore cutting-edge communications research within electrical and computer engineering. In information and communication theory, wireless communications, and communication networks, our researchers are at the forefront of investigating the reliable and efficient transmission of diverse forms of information, including text, image, voice, audio, and video.
In ECE, our focus extends beyond the surface, developing mathematical models for networks, signalling methods, channels, and other critical systems. This endeavour fuels the design of communication protocols aimed at maximizing information transfer rates, minimizing bandwidth and power consumption costs, and elevating overall network reliability and security. Join us in unravelling the intricacies of communications research, where innovation and exploration converge to shape the future of information transmission.
