About the College / Unit / Department

Building from our heritage of excellence in interdisciplinary education and research, the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering will work to expand and strengthen our undergraduate and graduate programs, build on our foundation of productive cross-disciplinary research and establish a culture that exemplifies operational best practices. By working to achieve these strategic objectives, we seek to build upon our heritage of "engineering without borders" as we grow a world class School of Electrical & Computer Engineering embedded in a strong liberal arts tradition.

The AIL , led by Dr. Peter Kner, specializes in developing cutting-edge techniques to enhance the resolution of three-dimensional fluorescence imaging. Our primary focus is on integrating various super-resolution methods, such as structured illumination and STORM , with adaptive optics. This synergy allows us to achieve sub-diffraction resolution in model organisms, notably C. elegans and zebrafish.
