Our Areas of Excellence
NYU Tandon is engineering creative and smart, connected and secure, sustainable and healthy urban communities.
Here at Tandon, our researchers and students work at the bleeding edge of technology — technology that powers cities, enables worldwide communication, fights climate change, and creates new and safer digital worlds. We’re building new devices that will revolutionize healthcare, algorithms to help us communicate across the planet, and making more sophisticated & accountable AI systems that bring efficiency and equity to our lives.
We’re doing so by focusing on fields in vital research areas and the intersections between them. That focus allows us to build upon our rich history, chart a path to a better future for the entire planet, and prove you can be born anywhere, but made right here in Brooklyn.
