The ECE PhD Experience at UCSB

Where Ideas Connect

Explore the PhD experience in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Santa Barbara

UCSB ECE graduate students conduct cutting-edge research, work alongside internationally recognized faculty, and have access to exceptional facilities for designing, fabricating, and testing new technologies.

Research opportunities span areas including semiconductor materials and devices, gallium nitride electronics, artificial intelligence and probabilistic computing, quantum photonics, high-frequency circuits, and other rapidly developing areas of ECE.

But the UCSB experience is about more than facilities and technology. Graduate students describe a culture where they are encouraged to take ownership of their research, explore new directions, collaborate across groups, and develop the independence and perspective needed to become leaders in their fields.

Hear directly from UCSB PhD students about what brought them to Santa Barbara, what they are working on, and what makes the ECE research community distinctive.
