Electronic, Photonic, and Integrated Quantum Systems (EPIQS) research at UW ECE includes quantum electronics, nanoscale optics, novel photon sources, and optical metamaterials, with applications in quantum science, imaging, biomedical sensing, and other areas. Our faculty work closely with colleagues in the UW Department of Physics and several faculty hold joint and secondary appointments in Physics. Many UW ECE faculty are members of the Institute for Nano-Engineered Systems (NanoES), a NSF National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) node that hosts the Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF) to support academic institutions and companies throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond in designing and fabricating nanoscale materials, structures, devices and systems.

The inaugural Chips2Future summer engineering immersion, piloted and led by UW ECE faculty, offered undergraduate students an intensive primer in semiconductor design and production, hands-on practice in world-class facilities, and visits to many of the companies that now produce 90 percent of the world’s advanced microchips.
In new undergraduate capstone courses taught by UW ECE professors Chris Rudell and Ang Li, students are working together in teams to learn how to design and build microchips for real-world applications.
UW ECE Assistant Professor Yiyue Luo is known for her work in intelligent, or “smart,” textiles. At UW ECE, she and her students are expanding this relatively new line of research into other forms of intelligent wearable technology.
UW ECE Assistant Professor Hossein Naghavi is leading a research project selected for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, a historic national initiative aimed at building the world’s most powerful integrated science discovery platform.
Through a new virtual reality training platform, UW ECE students are gaining immersive cleanroom experience before entering the Washington Nanofabrication Facility for hands-on lab work.
UW ECE is proud to announce that Khushbu Patel (MSECE ‘26) and Kathryn Fehme (BSECE ‘26) have been selected to speak at this year's Graduation Ceremony.
