Director of Graduate Programs, ECE Department (2006 – present)
Responsible for coordinating all aspects of the PhD and
MSEE programs in ECE, including admissions, TA and RA
funding coordination, tuition waivers, TA assignments,
conducting qualifying examinations, and other coordination
tasks.
Engaged in graduate student recruitment activities to
increase the visibility of research programs in ECE. This
contributed to expanding the ECE PhD program by increasing
PhD enrollment from 31 in 2006 to 67 in 2011. The total
graduate student population increased from 140 to 171
during this period.
Established new policies for improving the quality of
graduate programs, e.g. introduction of comprehensive
examination for MSEE students, a new procedure qualifying
examinations, annual assessment of PhD students, and
others.
Provided leadership to support the department’s increasing
focus on research by appropriate admission and financial
support policies. This includes a higher selectivity for
graduate admissions.
