The Microelectronics Research and Communications Institute (MRCI) develops technologies in microelectronics, power electronics, microwave ferrite research, battery development, intelligent control, computer security, communications systems, and neural networks. Much of this research and development is performed by the Center for Intelligent Systems Research (CSIR), the Center for Secure and Dependable Systems (CSDS), and the Laboratory for Microelectronics and Signal Processing (LMSP). There are 35 affiliated faculty members from the University of Idaho and Washington State University.

Through their efforts, MRCI has received several million dollars from governmental and private sources alike over the past 9 years. MRCI provides administrative, technical, and laboratory support for these three centers and several other research entities at the University of Idaho. At present, MRCI supports 43 undergraduate researchers, 44 graduate research assistants, 11 irregular help graduate researchers, 4 post-doctoral researchers, 3 R&D engineers, 4 research engineers, and 1 scientific aide.

MRCI is a multidisciplinary research center that supports research from many different departments and programs at the University of Idaho, including Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, and Philosophy.

Congratulations to MRCI's Mr. Ryan Adams on his new Assistant Professor appointment in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (UNCC)!
