Research Projects
Many of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering’s research projects are housed under our two esteemed research centers: the Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications and Distributed Information Systems (CATT) and the Wireless Internet Center of Advanced Technology (WICAT).
Projects generally fall under these categories:
- Fields and Waves
- Systems, Control and Signal Processing
- Telecommunications and Wireless
- VLSI, Electronics and Power
CATT
Director: Shivendra Panwar

The Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications and Distributed Information Systems (CATT) promotes industry-university collaborative research and development. Our mission, guided by the mission of our funding agency, is to create economic impact through research, technology transfer, and faculty entrepreneurship. The CATT is sponsored by the New York State’s Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR). Located at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly), long-recognized as one of the best engineering schools in the country, the center draws on the expertise of over 50 researchers. Our team consists of leaders in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science. In addition to NYU-Poly faculty, the center also draws on the expertise of key researchers at Columbia University and New York University.

The Wireless Internet Center of Advanced Technology (WICAT) is a joint research center created by Columbia University and Polytechnic Institute of NYU. As a future Industry/University Cooperative Research Center member, WICAT is partnered with companies and organizations from across the industry, from telecommunications and manufacturing giants to wireless customers and small start-up firms.
The I/UCRC program helps industry and academia come together to overcome practical research challenges. For WICAT, this means that companies who become our partners help to direct future areas of wireless study and gain first access to new research. This research is aimed at anticipating not only their needs, but also the needs of their clients, suppliers and the industry as a whole.
WICAT’s goal is to be a catalyst for wireless innovation, and to help foster an ecosystem that partners vendors, service providers, government agencies, research initiatives, end-users, and small companies and start-ups. Our mission is both to facilitate communication between these partners and to provide them with a pool of research that can be applied to practical problems in the wireless industry.
