Despite a flurry of reporting to the contrary, the mystery of Earhart’s final resting place has not been — and may never be — solved. NYU WIRELESS founder Ted Rappaport recently discussed the subject with snopes.com. Rappaport is an expert in wireless communication and an engineering professor at New York University and is also an …

Throughout 2017, NYU WIRELESS had much to celebrate, from marking its fifth anniversary of developing advanced wireless technology since opening the research center at NYU Tandon in 2012, to receiving a $2.3 million grant from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to improve public safety communications, to new partnerships with Sprint and OPPO. Rather than resting on its laurels, …

Information Theory researchers devise fundamental bounds for representing, communicating, processing, and using information, and although it has long been considered part of electrical engineering and has had significant impact in communication systems, it also has connections to diverse fields. Since Claude Shannon, a Bell Labs researcher, published his foundational paper on the discipline in 1948, …

Testing and verifying designs for millimeter-wave prototypes is an ongoing challenge for the industry as it moves into 5G. Engineers need to understand how 5G mmwave prototypes will behave in a wide range of challenge propagation scenarios, which is typically accomplished through an emulation approach. A research team at the New York University Tandon School …

Riccardo Lattanzi will participate in the National Academy of Engineering’s E.U.-U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, an invitation-only gathering of 60 early-career scientists designed to promote interdisciplinary research collaborations. Lattanzi’s research probes the interaction between the radio frequency electromagnetic fields used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and human tissue. He is developing novel noninvasive methods to map the …

Congratulations to NYU WIRELESS PhD student Shu Sun, a winner of the 2017 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award. The Society cited her substantial work in 5G mmWave communications and her leadership skills as the reasons for the honor. Dr. Rappaport applauded Shu’s “ability to change minds and lead the world to completely new …
