Course Catalog Description

The 290 courses cover current topics of research interest in electrical engineering. The course content may vary from semester to semester.

This is a research-oriented course that focuses on the design methods for societal systems which are being transformed by big data analytics, Internet-of-Things, and machine learning. Of special interest is the theory and applications of games, information and incentive design for achieving desirable societal outcomes in systems, where the performance is affected by strategic user behavior and dynamics of the physical infrastructure. Students be expected to leave with an understanding of (i) fundamentals of games theory, information and incentive design; (ii) modeling techniques of strategic human behavior and equilibrium analysis in networks under technological and physical constraints; (iii) current research applying game theory and incentive design for improving efficiency, resiliency and equity in societal system.
