Course unit: Electronic Materials
Taught by Dr Jessica Boland and Dr Huanqing Ye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summary of the course unit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This course will introduce the importance of electronic materials and nanotechnology in today\u2019s society. You will \u2018build\u2019 an electronic material \u2014 starting from a single atom up through to using that material in a device. The course will explain how insulating, metallic, and semiconducting properties arise in solids and how these solids can be engineered to produce desired electrical properties within a device (e.g. solar cells, light emitting diodes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the lecturers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

“I am interested in new nanomaterials, such as topological insulator, 2D materials, and semiconductor nanowires, that have the potential to make devices smaller, faster, smarter, and most importantly energy-efficient! My research uses terahertz radiation to image these materials and map their conductivity in 3D to feedback information about their performance within a device.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course unit: Circuit Analysis
Taught by Dr Ognjen Marjanovic and Dr Steven Qi Li<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summary of the course unit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Circuit analysis is the course unit that is essentially focused on modelling electrical and electronic systems and their representation using a combination of relatively simple circuit components, namely voltage source, current source, resistor, inductor, and capacitor. This course unit underpins a large number of other units that you will be taught within the Department of EEE since it teaches you the skills to be able to model and then analyse almost any electrical and electronic circuit. In this course unit you will learn how electrical and electronic systems behave when subjected to constant voltages\/currents (DC Circuit Analysis), sinusoidally varying voltages and currents (AC Circuit Analysis), and voltages and currents of arbitrary shape (Transient Circuit Analysis). In this course unit we will also touch on some more general system analysis methodologies such as Superposition Principle and Fourier Analysis and try to go beyond the modelling of only electrical systems by encompassing a much more general class of all physical systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I joined the Department of EEE in August 2006 and have been teaching Circuit Analysis course unit ever since September 2011. My work is centred around mathematical modelling of physical systems. These could be electrical power systems, or chemical processes or mobile robots. Mathematical models allow me to capture the relationship between system\u2019s inputs and outputs so that I can design automatic control systems that ensure outputs of system that I am trying to control follow certain specified set points. So for example, in the case of electrical power systems, it is paramount to ensure that the variables such as voltage, current, and frequency are controlled to follow their reference values. There are generally two different approaches to modelling of physical systems: the so-called mechanistic approach that relies on first-principle laws of physics; data-driven approach that utilises data collected from a given system in order to identify relationships between inputs and outputs by means of applying statistical modelling. As mentioned before, I am also involved in the design of automatic control systems that utilise feedback information from the outputs in order to compute appropriate input values to appropriately control a given system. This field of automatic control is fascinating and all-encompassing with concepts that transcend the standard division of systems into electrical, mechanical, chemical, biological, etc. I would argue that it is the most conceptual sub-discipline of engineering with the most wide-ranging application area.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
