NYU WIRELESS sophomore undergraduate researchers Jocelyn Schulz (Electrical Engineering & Computer Science) and George Wong (Physics & Math) received the award for Best-in-Panel in “Mathematics and Modeling in Understanding of the Physical World” at the 39th annual NYU Undergraduate Research Conference on April 12, 2013. Schulz and Wong presented their work from Prof. Ted Rappaport’s group on a …
There is an extraordinary amount of video content available online now through popular websites like YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu. With the rise in the number of online streaming video websites, it has become increasingly challenging for users to quickly identify video content that falls in line with their interests. That challenge has given rise to the recommendation system. Traditional …
Two leading electrical engineering magazines, Electronic Design Magazine (EDM) and Microwave Journal (MJ), recently interviewed NYU WIRELESS founder and director Ted Rappaport about the future of wireless communications, medicine, and education. Rappaport opined on some of the most daunting challenges facing the wireless engineering field in the US, and discussed the most exciting technical trends facing the field in the coming decade.

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 …
