NYU-Poly has had a long standing collaborative relationship with the telecommunications, wireless communication, biological science, cyber security and privacy, and video gaming industries. Created in 1983 as one of the State of New York's 4 original Centers for Advanced Technology, CATT continues to fulfill its mission to stimulate economic development in information technology through research and education ([http://www.poly.edu/research/centers Research Centers Homepage]). Located on our campus, the CATT is sponsored by the New York State’s Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) and draws in key researchers from NYU and Columbia University([http://www.poly. (edu/academics/departments/electrical/research Research Projects]). Companies that partner with CATT in joint research gain access to state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experts who understand how to turn technological breakthroughs into commercially-viable products and services. CATT’s research program focuses on 3 key areas that are crucial to the needs of businesses today: wireless networks , network security , and network applications ([http://www.poly.edu/research/centers Research Centers Homepage]).

The Wireless Internet Center of Advanced Technology (WICAT) is a joint research center created by Columbia University and NYU-Poly. As a future Industry/University Cooperative Research Center member, WICAT is partnered with companies and organizations from across the industry, from telecommunications and manufacturing giants to wireless customers and small start-up firms ([http://www.poly.edu/academics/departments/electrical/research Research Projects]). WICAT is a multi-university R&D center sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its program of Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC).With NYU-Poly as the lead institution, WICAT center sites are also located at Virginia Tech, University of Texas at Austin, Auburn University, and the University of Virginia. WICAT’s mission is to collaborate with industry research partners to create flexible, efficient, and secure wireless networks that satisfy communications needs in businesses, in the home, and in the lives of individuals. WICAT is part of [http://nyuwireless.com/ NYU WIRELESS], NYU’s new cross-cutting research center that involves wireless communications, computing, and medicine ([http://www.poly.edu/research/centers Research Centers Homepage]).

<br/>Stemming from NYU-Poly’s pioneering efforts in polymer research, the Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing of Macromolecules is involved in the exploration and development of enzymes for a wide range of polymer forming and modifying reactions.The Center provides industrial members with critical, cutting-edge research on enzyme transformations related to polymer technology in hopes of understanding the impact that biocatalysis and bioprocessing might have on their short and long-term business strategies ([http://www.poly.edu/research/centers Research Centers Homepage]).

CRISSP combines security technology strengths with experts in psychology, law, public policy, and business from NYU. The goal of this center is to build new approaches to security and privacy that recognize that technology alone cannot provide the information security and privacy needed in today’s interconnected world ([http://www.poly.edu/research/centers Research Centers Homepage]).

In 2011, NYU-Poly launched their Center of Innovation for Technology and Entertainment (CITE), home to the renown Game Innovation Lab--an exciting, dynamic and flexible space for research and learning that takes games as an innovation challenge. Within the lab, core research and teaching activities are grounded in computer science, engineering, and user experience, with participation of researchers and educators from other allied disciplines. Sample projects in the Lab include user interface innovation (sensor-based tracking, multi-touch), network and video quality research, and research on games for learning ([http://gil.cite.poly.edu/ CITE Homepage]).
