NYU WIRELESS.[1] is a research center at New York University (NYU) focused on future challenges and applications of wireless technologies. The center brings together wireless students and faculty across NYU with expertise in circuit design, millimeter wave(mmWave) wireless communications,[2][3] signal processing, distributed networking and computing, and many branches of medicine.[4] Launched in early 2012, the center consists of over 100 graduate and undergraduate students and 25 faculty participating in various research activities.

On average, the center conducts about $10 million a year in funded research[5] from its industrial affiliates, the National Science Foundation (NSF),[6] the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the United States Department of Defense (DOD). The center is composed of students and faculty from NYU’s Courant Computer Science department, NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering’s Electrical and Computer engineering department and many different branches of NYU School of Medicine.

Administration

Dr. Theodore (Ted) S. Rappaport is the founding director of NYU WIRELESS, having worked in wireless since the late 1980s first at Virginia Tech and then at UT Austin. Joining NYU WIRELESS as associate Directors are Prof. Sundeep Rangan, representing NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Prof. Dennis Shasha, representing the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU, and Prof. Daniel Sodickson, representing the NYU School of Medicine faculty[7]

Facilities

NYU WIRELESS is located at 2 MetroTech Center on the campus of NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. It has opened 13,500 square feet of research space, which combines research in wireless technologies, computing and medical applications.[8] The facility contains four fully equipped laboratories to conduct research, mostly focussed on millimeter waves. It is also equipped with over 75 student workstations, and provides a dedicated workplace for NYU WIRELESS student researchers and faculty to work.[9] The NYU WIRELESS laboratories contain a wide range of instruments including FPGA development platforms, channel sounders, signal generators, vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and semiconductor probe stations. The lab is designed for and fully equipped to perform communications, networking, and signal processing research for fifth generation (5G) wireless.

Industrial Affiliates

Companies seeking industrial affiliate membership are provided with access to the center's students, faculty, staff and wireless research facilities.[10]
