Trevor Larsen

Background

Trevor Larsen is on the faculty of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University. Before Porter, Trevor developed firmware for medical devices.

Trevor's research focuses on analog and mixed-signal design, with related work in renewable energy integration; undergraduates are involved in the lab most terms.

Areas of expertise

• Analog and mixed-signal design
• Renewable energy integration
• Undergraduate research and project mentoring

Teaching

Trevor regularly teaches courses in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Courses lean on current problems from the field: students read recent work, reproduce a result or method, and then extend it. Trevor builds in low-stakes practice before graded work and gives written feedback on drafts.

Advising and office hours

Trevor advises students in the Electrical & Computer Engineering programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

Trevor's recent activity is a mix of peer-reviewed work, conference talks, and student-involved projects in analog and mixed-signal design and renewable energy integration. Representative items:

• A peer-reviewed article on analog and mixed-signal design in a disciplinary journal.
• A conference paper on renewable energy integration, co-authored with an undergraduate researcher.
• An internally funded project applying analog and mixed-signal design to a regional partner's problem.

Titles and venues here are illustrative. UW–Porter Falls is fictional; Trevor has no real publication record.

Get in touch

The fastest way to reach Trevor is email (tlarsen@uwporterfalls.edu); messages during the fall and spring terms are usually answered within two business days. Prospective students and families can ask the Electrical & Computer Engineering department office to set up a call, a class visit, or a meeting during an admitted-student day.
