12.2 Areas Of Specialization

Electrical Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.). Research is carried out in the two broadly defined areas of (a) Signals and Systems and (b) High Voltage and Power Systems.

Within the area of Signals and Systems such research topics as speech processing, image processing, digital filtering, discrete transforms, number theory and hardware realizations of signal processing-related devices are investigated. Within this research area the VLSI Research Group investigates modern VLSI implementations of high speed digital signal processing algorithms.

Research within the High Voltage and Power area deals with such topics as power systems, high voltage technology, electrical arcs, insulation and electric and magnetic field calculations.
