Recent work from the group of assistant professor Pengtao Xie was featured on UC San Diego Today. Full Story
A new AI tool could make it much easier—and cheaper—for doctors and researchers to train medical imaging software, even when only a small number of patient scans are available. It could lead to faster, more affordable diagnostic tools, especially in hospitals and clinics with limited resources. Full Story
This five-year project aims to develop performance-guaranteed learning and control for real-world energy systems, with applications to power grid voltage control and building HVAC control. Full Story
Phuong Truong has done it all at UC San Diego: from an undergraduate student in structural engineering, to master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering and now an adjunct lecturer and education specialist, Truong has been a strong presence at the Jacobs School of Engineering for more than a decade.

The San Diego County Engineering Council (SDCEC) is an umbrella organization consisting of local engineering society chapters, both collegiate and professional. They recognize the contributions of individuals, projects and engineering heroes in San Diego County and Imperial County that advance engineering and technology benefiting the general public through their annual San Diego Engineers Week Awards Banquet. This year, 9 Outstanding Engineering Honor Awards were presented during Engineers Week on February 18. ECE Department Chair Prof.
High-resolution ADCs are essential components in many biomedical and environmental sensing applications. As the demands for wearable, miniature and point-of-care systems keep increasing, the design requirements for high-resolution ADCs also get more stringent, with strong emphasis on energy efficiency, reliability, and low cost. Over the past few years, many design techniques have been developed to excel the figure-of-merit (FoM) of high-resolution ADCs, where the state-of-the-arts has gotten really close to the theoretical limit.
ESPRIT-based high-resolution parameter estimation algorithms in DFT beamspace have been proposed as efficient gridless channel estimation schemes for MIMO OFDM systems in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band. Compared to conventional ESPRIT-based algorithms in element space, the DFT beamspace approach can be applied to MIMO systems with hybrid analog-digital architectures. Moreover, this approach significantly reduces the training overhead for communication systems operating in the mmWave band. It involves coarse and fine estimation steps.
MastersInAI.org has recognized the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) as the #12 best school for earning a master's degree in artificial intelligence in its 2025 rankings. This prestigious acknowledgment places UC San Diego alongside top-tier institutions such as UC Berkeley and Stanford, underscoring its excellence in AI education.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department traces its roots back to the establishment of the Applied Electrophysics department in 1965, under its founding chair Henry Booker. Through a succession of department realignments emerged today’s ECE in 1987, when the then-combined Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department was split into two departments. Since then, ECE has earned a world-class reputation for producing top-notch engineers for industry and academia.
