NYU WIRELESS is pleased to announce that graduate researchers Fraida Fund, George Kyriakou and Oner Orhan have advanced to the next round of the DARPA Spectrum challenge. The DARPA Spectrum Challenge seeks to spawn the development of radio protocols that can best use a radio communication channel in the presence of other dynamic users and interfering signals. …
In the fast-paced world of wireless technology, researchers need a powerful and flexible platform to rapidly design and prototype communications systems and protocols at all layers of the protocol stack. Traditional test solutions, such as commercially available channel and base station emulators, are often prohibitively expensive and lack the programmability and flexibility needed when engineering …
NYU WIRELESS Prof. Jonathan Viventi and researchers Shih-Cheng Cheng, Yen-Chia Chuan and Jui-Chih Wang have designed a small diameter (25 mm) and low-profile (7 mm) wireless electrophysiology system that can be implanted on different kinds of small animals. The system is designed around commercially available Bluetooth Low Energy components for low cost and ease of use. The …
NYU WIRELESS Electrical Engineering Professor Michael Knox and researcher Gavin Vitale are developing a method to reliably monitor heart rate by detecting arterial wall movement through the use of Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves. A sensor may be placed inside the mouth, so as to maximize freedom of movement for the user, and allows for ease of setup …
Doctors often wonder if their patients are following orders. After all, without the patient’s cooperation, the best medical treatments in the world will not work if the patient does not follow the proper prescribed dosing regimen. Dr. Antoinette Schoenthaler, an NYU WIRELESS medical researcher, clinical epidemiologist, hypertension specialist, and behavioral scientist, is leading a project, sponsored by the …
In January, NYU WIRELESS students attended a three-day NI LabVIEW Boot Camp that is intended to certify students and researchers who already have experience with LabVIEW through coursework or research projects. The course is a compressed version of LabVIEW Core 1 & 2 that normally take 4.5 – 5 days to complete. Students were given an introduction to common …
Current wireless communication channels are experiencing heavy congestion due to the widespread use of smartphones and tablets worldwide, thus giving rise to an unprecedented demand for wider and faster cellular networks and less costly backhaul between base stations. Millimeter wave communication channels offer a viable solution to current bandwidth congestion. The millimeter wave frequency spectrum …
NYU WIRELESS medical students Leeor Alon, Gene Young Cho, and Cem Murat Deniz received the first place award in three competitions/grants for their startup RF Test Labs, Inc. The team first went on to win the NYU Stern School of Business’s (NYU Stern) Entrepreneurs Challenge; this Challenge is one of the largest university startup competitions in the …
NYU WIRELESS professor Theodore (Ted) Rappaport has been named a 2013 Distinguished Engineering Alumnus of Purdue University. The Distinguished Engineering Alumni/Alumnae Award is presented to men and women who have distinguished themselves in any field in ways that reflect favorably on Purdue University, the engineering profession, or society in general. Purdue’s College of Engineering has over 84,000 living alumni. …
