The Ohio State ElectroScience Laboratory is a major center-of-excellence and one of the largest radio frequency and optics research laboratories in the world. Since 1942, ESL has consistently maintained a national and international preeminence in electromagnetics, influencing radio research like no other institution in the world.

Research Areas

While centering on all aspects of wireless communications and sensing, the ElectroScience Laboratory has become a cross-disciplinary center integrating research in electrical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, and bioengineering. The goals of ESL are to continue its influence in cutting-edge discoveries; maintain its excellent experimental and computational laboratories in its areas of strength; and pursue multidisciplinary research.
