Clean Power

Security Gets Physical

Ultrasound's Benefits

Making Clean Power with Wind Turbines

Professor Alexander Emanuel is a leader in power systems research who has spent much of his career studying harmonic pollution. With PhD Candidate Grazia Todeschini, Emanuel is analyzing whether wind generators can serve as active filters to counteract this pollution.

Security Gets Physical to Thwart Thieves

Associate Professor Berk Sunar is developing ways to use physical features of high-tech devices like computer chips and CDs to create cryptographic fingerprints that can detect tampering or prevent unauthorized copying.

Taking Ultrasound's Benefits to the Patient

Professor Peder Pedersen believes medical ultrasound can be a powerful tool for emergency and rural medicine if it can be untethered from the hospital environment.

Cutting-edge research and excellence in training and education: both continue to be hallmarks of the WPI Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Areas of research specialization range from ultrasonic imaging and power systems analysis, to GPS navigation, ad-hoc networks, and reliable computing.
