Computer Science and Engineering
Algorithms and Foundations Group
The Algorithms and Foundations Group at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering is composed of researchers interested in applying mathematical and theoretical tools to a variety of disciplines in computer science. We study problems in machine learning, geometry, computational biology, computational mathematics, and beyond.
Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT)
CATT promotes industry-university collaborative research and development in these areas: wireless and personal communications networks and devices, secure information technologies, and media and network applications/services.
Center for Responsible AI
Our goal is to build a future in which responsible AI is synonymous with AI. Our work centers around interdisciplinary research, technology policy, and education and training for AI practitioners, decision makers, and the public at large.
What is responsible AI? We use this term to refer to making the design, development and use of AI socially sustainable: using technology for good while controlling the risks. Responsible AI is about respecting human values, ensuring fairness, maintaining transparency, and upholding accountability. It’s about taking hype and magical thinking out of the conversation about AI. And about giving people the ability to understand, control and take responsibility for AI-assisted decisions.
Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP)
The Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to the application of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the service of urban communities across the globe. Using New York City as our laboratory and classroom, we strive to develop novel data- and technology-driven solutions for complex urban problems.
Chunara Lab
The overarching goal of our research is to develop the principles needed to incorporate unstructured, Internet and mobile data into a better understanding of population-level health. We primarily develop computational methods across data mining, natural language processing, and machine learning to generate features for spatio-temporal population-level public health models.
Cybersecurity for Democracy
Cybersecurity for Democracy is a research-based, nonpartisan, and independent effort to expose online threats to our social fabric — and recommend how to counter them. We are part of the Center for Cybersecurity at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
DICE (Data, Intelligence, and Computation in Engineering) Lab
The Data, Intelligence and Computation in Engineering (DICE) Lab is led by Assistant Professor Chinmay Hegde and focuses on theoretical and applied aspects deep learning and machine learning.
Game Innovation Lab
The Game Innovation Lab brings together faculty and students from the School of Engineering and the greater NYU community doing research focused on games as an innovation challenge. The Lab's emphasis is on the technical / engineering / science side of games and simulations.
Geosimulation
Geosimulation is a catch-all phrase that can be used to represent a new wave of spatial simulation modeling that has come to the fore in very recent years.
Immersive Computing Lab
The ICL, directed by Assistant Professor Qi Sun, conducts cutting-edge research that spans the fields of computer graphics, physics, and computational cognition, with the goal of creating unprecedented virtual and augmented reality systems to revolutionize urban life.
Neuroinformatics Lab
We develop computational models and signal processing tools to decode brain connectivity and function using genomics and imaging. We are particularly interested in constructing a bridge between genetics and behavior through interpretable models that operate on multi-modal neural data at molecular, circuit and whole-brain resolutions.
NYU Center for Cybersecurity (CCS)
CCS is an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals and to shaping the public discourse and policy landscape on issues of technology and security. The Center is a collaboration among NYU Tandon School of Engineering and other NYU schools and departments.
Offensive Security, Incident Response, and Internet Security Lab
The OSIRIS Lab is a student-run cybersecurity group that is part of the NYU's Center for Cyber Security.
Secure Systems Lab
The Secure Systems Laboratory (SSL), under the direction of Professor Justin Cappos, works to find practical and deployable solutions to real-world security threats.
Visualization and Data Analytics Center
ViDA consists of computer scientists who work closely with domain experts to apply the latest advances in computing to problems of critical societal importance, and simultaneously generate hypotheses and methods that new data demands.
