Jingqin Gao, assistant director of research at NYU Tandon's C2SMART, co-authored a study that found that speed cameras typically begin achieving safety benefits within six months of installation, and that the study’s three-year New York City analysis found cameras in many locations nearly eliminated speeding behaviors within 18 months.

Speed cameras worked in San Francisco. Now they are coming to L.A. -- with hefty fines San Francisco is reporting an overall 80% reduction in excessive speeding just one year into using its speed cameras at 33 locations.

Executive Dean Juan de Pablo described NYU Tandon's research partnership with IIT Kanpur — spanning cybersecurity, AI, robotics, and wireless communications — as one built for real-world deployment from day one, with seven joint projects launched in the first year.

NYU Tandon alum Joe Landolina, who first developed his plant-based hemostatic gel as a freshman competing in Tandon's InnoVention competition, has grown that student project into Cresilon, a Brooklyn bioengineering company whose Traumagel product stops critical bleeding in seconds and is now being adopted by first responders.

NYU Tandon's Institute for Engineering Health, led by Jeffrey Hubbell, is organizing research around disease states rather than traditional disciplines — asking "what would it take to cure allergic asthma?" and assembling whoever can answer, from immunologists to materials scientists to AI researchers.

Engineering Collisions: How NYU Is Remaking Health Research NYU researchers are hacking the human body — one disease at a time

Executive Dean Juan de Pablo joined IBM's NY Tech Week panel on quantum computing, predicting that advances in quantum algorithms will accelerate on a five-year cycle and highlighting quantum's unique potential in chemistry and materials science: "Quantum uses a molecule to simulate a molecule."

The future of quantum takes center stage at NY Tech Week IBM and educational partners outlined which quantum advancements excite them and explained why it’s never too early to get on board.

Associate Professor Qi Sun received an National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award to develop AI image and video generation systems that align computing demands with the limits of human visual perception — reducing energy and processing costs by skipping detail that people won't notice anyway.

New York University has launched the Earth Systems Institute, combining AI, engineering, and environmental science to better predict and respond to environmental changes. The institute draws on expertise from NYU Tandon; NYU Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science; and NYU Arts & Science, with Tandon's Miguel Modestino, director of the Sustainable Engineering Initiative, serving as co-deputy director.

Professor Khalil Ramadi – who has appointments at both NYU Tandon and New York University Abu Dhabi – and colleagues developed the Lily stent, a six-part drainage device for gastric leaks after weight-loss surgery, built around a counterintuitive finding: a wider tube doesn't drain better because exterior surface geometry, not interior volume, determines how fast fluid moves around the device.

Assistant Professor Khalil Ramadi's lab at NYU Tandon and NYU Abu Dhabi has developed a suite of swallowable devices — including ICOPS, which uses optogenetics to stimulate gut neurons via an LED capsule, and CORAL, which collects microbiome samples from the upper GI tract — to open previously inaccessible windows into the gut-brain axis.

Suite of Ingestible Devices Opens Window to the Gut Nervous System, Microbiome - IEEE Pulse A better understanding of the gut is necessary to fight digestive disorders, as well as many broader neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, according to bioengineer Khalil Ramadi, Ph.D., and he is on a quest to provide that understanding.

Professor Justin Cappos put viral fears about peace-sign selfies in perspective, saying the risk of a hacker extracting your fingerprints from a photo is negligible for most people: "You have a better chance of being hit by a car tomorrow than this happening to you in your lifetime."

Can hackers pull your fingerprints from photos on social media? Experts explain. Claims have circulated on social media that fingerprints can be pulled from photos featuring peace signs, but experts say the risk to the average person is low.

Huge congratulations to Theodore Rappaport, David Lee/Ernst Weber Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, on being elected as a 2026 fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.

Rappaport was elected alongside two other NYU faculty — Nicole Fleetwood; Paulette Goddard Endowed Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development; and Vlad Vicol; Professor of mathematics at the NYU Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science.

On June 3rd and 4th the 2026 NORDTECH Annual Hub Meeting was hosted at NYU Tandon.

This year's meeting brought together leaders from across the microelectronics ecosystem to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of national defense R&D in the areas of secure-edge computing, commercial leap ahead, AI hardware, and quantum technologies.

Highlights included a keynote from Jim Misewich, Associate Laboratory Director for Energy and Photon Sciences at the Brookhaven National Laboratory; remarks by Juan de Pablo, New York University Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Executive Vice President for Global Science & Technology and NYU Tandon Executive Dean, and Scott Bukofsky, SVP of Microelectronics at NSTXL (National Security Technology Accelerator); and tours of the NYU Tandon Nanofabrication Cleanroom in Brooklyn & the NYU Quantum Institute in Manhattan.
