Communications / IT

We’re doing research that will make the next era of communications and connection possible.

From paving the way for 6G mobile to broadening access to wireless service, we are breaking new ground in telecommunications, signal processing, and networking research.

It isn’t hyperbole to suggest that everyday reality might soon include airborne drones using computer vision and cloud-based AI to identify and avoid obstacles, ultra-fast communications between smart vehicles to avoid collisions, teams of robots “talking” to each other to perform complex tasks, physicians doing surgery remotely and wirelessly, and AR/VR experiences delivered to your mobile screens and smart glasses. NYU Tandon research is making these and other revolutionary advances in telecommunications happen.

Academic Programs

Computer Engineering, B.S.

Computer engineers develop products that touch nearly every part of our lives, from sending e-mails from cell phones to reconstructing genomes. That’s just the kind of invention & innovation the School of Engineering encourages.

On Campus

Computer Science, B.S.

Computer science focuses on designing, building, and using the computers and systems that we interact with every day — from iPhones to the complex databases in banks and hospitals.

On Campus

Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, B.S.

Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering are both extremely pertinent in today's high technology and global world, and this program gives students opportunities to garner knowledge from both disciplines.

On Campus

Computer Engineering, M.S.

Computer engineering makes it possible for us to telecommute from home and check our e-mail on the go, and even reconstruct genomes and conceive software to make businesses more efficient.
