Welcome to the Future
NC State ECE
Come Visit!
Join us for a tour, check out our facilities, and meet some of our amazing students.
NC State has been selected to lead three U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission projects using AI to accelerate scientific discovery.
ECE Assistant Professor Michela Becchi is leading one of them, developing an AI-powered framework to help researchers program next-generation computing hardware, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory.
NC State is also partnering on two additional Genesis Mission projects tied to nuclear energy, including the $60M Prometheus project.
Proud to see our ECE faculty at the forefront of applying AI to push the boundaries of scientific discovery! ⚡

🎉 Congratulations to ECE Assistant Professor Aritra Mitra on winning a prestigious NSF CAREER Award!
The National Science Foundation grant will fund Mitra`s research into robust reinforcement learning, building AI decision-making systems that can filter out corrupted or noisy data and stay reliable in the real world, with applications spanning wireless networks, robotics and power systems.
This early-career honor recognizes both Mitra`s research excellence and his role as a mentor and educator here in ECE. Proud to see our faculty pushing the frontiers of trustworthy AI! 🤖

🧬 Predicting how DNA binds just got a major AI upgrade! ECE Professor James Tuck co-led a team that built BINND (Binding and Interaction Neural Network for DNA), a deep learning model that predicts which DNA sequences bind to each other with 83.5% accuracy – at least 10% better than the previous state of the art. Trained on a massive dataset of 144 million sequence pairs, BINND opens doors for biomedical diagnostics and DNA-based computing, where DNA itself is used to store and retrieve data. Proud to see our ECE research pushing the boundaries of what`s possible at the intersection of engineering and biology! 🔬 Read more: http://ncst.at/6PYn50Ztz9S
Quantum computing, meet real-world impact! ⚛️ ECE`s Sabre Kais, the Goodnight Distinguished Chair in Quantum Computing, chaired NC State`s first Summer Workshop on Quantum Machine Learning, drawing 150 researchers and industry leaders from IBM, NVIDIA, Yale and more to campus. From new algorithms to hands-on quantum programming, the week showcased why NC State ECE is training the next generation of the quantum workforce. Proud to have our faculty leading the way! 🔬 Read more: http://ncst.at/GM9q50ZkFpr
See Yourself Here
NC State’s Centennial Campus is full of landmarks, beautiful outdoor spaces, cutting edge research, state-of-the-art facilities and ways to find — and celebrate with — your community.
Stay updated on ECE’s biggest moments all year long.
As one of only two institutions to be home to two concurrent NSF Engineering Research Centers, one of three NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research Initiatives, the home of the Department of Energy’s PowerAmerica Institute, leads the only North America IBM Quantum Hub, and home to one of The Microelectronics Commons’ Hubs, we are ranked among the top academic units engaged in scientific research in the United States.
