  EE Colloquia Series





EE 500 Colloquia Series


  • Each of the three departmental Area Committees will organize a minimum of six area-based colloquia, for which the speakers will be a combination of internal speakers from Penn State, and speakers visiting from other institutions. The three Area Committees who are organizing the area-based seminars are the Communications, Control, Circuits, and Signal Processing (SS) Area, the Electronic and Optical Materials and Devices (EOMD) Area, and the E&M, Remote Sensing, and Space Sciences (EMRSSS) Area.
  • Area 1: Signals and Systems
        Prof. Constantino Lagoa, Area Chair
        Prof. Ken Jenkins, Seminar Series Organizer
        Subareas: Communications, Control, Circuits, Power, and Signal Processing
        Colloquia will be held in room 225 EE West on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. (alternate weeks)

    Area 2: Materials and Devices
        Prof. Stuart Yin, Area Chair
        Prof. Srinivas Tadigadapa, Seminar Series Organizer
        Subareas: Optical Materials and Devices, Electronic Materials and Devices
        Colloquia will be held in room 225 EE West on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. (alternate weeks)

    Area 3: Electromagnetics, Remote Sensing, and Space Sciences
        Prof. Kultegin Aydin, Area Chair
        Prof. Raj Mittra, Seminar Series Organizer
        Colloquia will be held in room 225 EE West on Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m.

  • The EMRSSS seminars will be held at 4:00 on Tuesdays, and the EEOMD and SS seminars will share time at 4:00 p.m. on Thursdays.
  • Brief written reports will be submitted to the EE500 Colloquium webpage, where the title of the seminar and the corresponding speaker must be clearly identified.


  • Please note that the EMRSSS, SS and EEOMD seminars will not begin until the second week of classes. We hope this new structure will provide increased flexibility so students can spend more time learning about their areas of primary interest.
