Spotlight on Research in Electrical Engineering
Making the Modern World Possible: Wireless Communications and Sensing
Prof. Jonathan Chisum didn’t always know he wanted to be an electrical engineer, but he has always been interested in physical principles and mathematics.
“Then once I discovered that the people who harness those laws to do interesting things and solve problems — those are electrical engineers.”
“Then I started to realize, this is where the action is. This is where I want to be!”
