Centers and Institutes
Brooklyn Experimental Media Center (BxmC)
Contact
The Brooklyn Experimental Media Center (BxmC) finds new ways to make available technologies do new things for artists, communities, and creative professionals; on a regular basis, finding that the current tools just won't do something important or delightful, they modify/extend/replace those technologies with new ones.
It works in real time, at the changing limits of audio, video, 3D graphics, game engines, web, mobile, and interaction design. As a creative engine in a science and technology institution in New York City, BxmC can host monster projects, and monster teams, and do things you have to get together to even imagine.
Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT)
Contact
Created in 1983 as one of the State of New York's 4 original Centers for Advanced Technology, CATT continues to fulfill its mission to stimulate economic development in information technology through research and education.
Companies that partner with CATT in joint research gain access to state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experts who understand how to turn technological breakthroughs into commercially-viable products and services. CATT’s research program focuses on 3 key areas that are crucial to the needs of businesses today:
- wireless networks
- network security
- network applications
Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing of Macromolecules
Contact
Polytechnic Institute of NYU is steeped in a tradition of excellence in polymer research and has sent into the world many of today’s leaders in the field. Today, NYU-Poly is embracing a new frontier at the interface of engineering, macromolecules, and the biological sciences. The Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing of Macromolecules is involved in the exploration and development of enzymes for a wide range of polymer forming and modifying reactions.
The Center provides industrial members with critical, cutting-edge research on enzyme transformations related to polymer technology. The resulting knowledge base and the resources of the Center are available to our industrial members so that they will be in a position to critically assess the potential impact that biocatalysis and bioprocessing might have on their short and long-term business strategies.
CRISSP
Contact
CRISSP combines security technology strengths with experts in psychology, law, public policy, and business from NYU. The goal of this center is to build new approaches to security and privacy that recognize that technology alone cannot provide the information security and privacy needed in today’s interconnected world. The center is founded by Anindya Ghose (NYU Stern), Ramesh Karri (NYU Poly), Nasir Memon (NYU Poly), Helen Nissenbaum (NYU Steinhardt), and Rae Zimmerman (NYU Wagner).
Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology (WICAT)
Contact
WICAT is a multi-university R&D center sponsored by the National Science Foundation under its program of Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC). Polytechnic Institute of NYU is the lead institution in WICAT and Columbia University and the University of Virginia are current associate members.
WICAT’s mission is to collaborate with industry research partners to create flexible, efficient, and secure wireless networks that satisfy communication needs in businesses, in the home, and in the lives of individuals. WICAT researchers work closely with industrial sponsors through the Industrial Affiliates Program. The research programs help the sponsoring industries to increase the value of their investments in wireless technology by providing them with insight into leading-edge technologies, and strategies for leveraging technology investments. Research is carried out by faculty members working with undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-docs, thereby contributing to the training of the next generation of wireless professionals.
Thrust areas of the research at Polytechnic Institute of NYU are to increase network capacity and battery life of terminals, enhance network security, and structure applications to run efficiently over wireless networks. The research at Columbia University deals with the organization and capacity of ad hoc and sensor networks, while that at the University of Virginia deals with rapidly reconfigurable wireless networks.
