Centers and Institutes
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.
Center for Drug Delivery Research (CDDR)
Contact
The Center for Drug Delivery Research aims to develop new drug delivery and targeting technology and to disseminate and apply this knowledge for the design, development, and evaluation of novel systems for the delivery of therapeutic agents using a multidisciplinary approach. Solving problems of drug delivery/targeting involves many scientific fields including pharmacology, biology, materials science, chemical, mechanical and bioengineering.
Polytechnic Institute of NYU and SUNY Downstate Medical Center bring together a group of experts in these disciplines to address issues of drug delivery which will lead to new developments in translational research and will foster new collaborative projects with existing clinical disciplines.
Research Center for Finance and Risk Engineering
The Research Center for Finance and Risk Engineering addresses the evolving financial and technology-enabled innovation needs of the financial services industry. The Center is a research hub as well as a laboratory for generating new ideas and tools for the industry. It also undertakes collaborative research to provide ideas, methods, and tools with scholarly and practical applications.
Institute for Technology and Enterprise (ITE)
Contact
The Institute for Technology and Enterprise is New York City's premier research and education hub for bridging management and innovation. It nurtures and builds managerial knowledge through targeted research and development, leadership forums, executive seminars and other educational activities. Enabled by the combined strengths of its diverse faculty and professionals, the Institute is at the forefront of modern management scholarship and learning associated with innovation and technology management. This unique knowledge base and active dialogue enable all ITE partners to operate more effectively in the modern, increasingly digital-based, business arena.
Urban Utility Center
Contact
During the summer of 1997, Polytechnic Institute of NYU made an agreement with major local, national, and international utilities to establish the Urban Utility Center to promote public-private partnerships for accelerating the assessment, demonstration, and deployment of innovative infrastructure technologies. UUC's primary goal is to promote reliable and cost-effective use of technology in order to address fast-growing societal needs for accelerating the rehabilitation of aging infrastructures, improving their performance, and upgrading the quality and safety of the vital public services that they support.
The Urban Utility Center has access to a unique network of public and private strategic partners and expert resources in the U.S. and Europe which has the capacity to:
- Coordinate, prioritize, and direct R&D efforts across a broad array of interdependent infrastructure industries
- Identify and evaluate early stage technologies
- Integrate potential end-users into the development process, including utilities and municipalities
- Conduct on site demonstrations in selected sites of the member utilities
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.
