IIT Kanpur, NYU Tandon School of Engineering announce seven joint research projects

NEW DELHI: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur and NYU Tandon School of Engineering have announced seven collaborative research projects. The seven projects, jointly led by researchers from each institution, aim to advance innovations in cybersecurity, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and wireless communications.

As per the official press release, NYU and IIT Kanpur will expand doctoral exchange opportunities and share teaching and research strategies along with these research projects. The collaboration is supported by both institutions, with additional funding from NYU Tandon’s Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications and the NYU Center for Cybersecurity.

Seven research projects

The seven joint research projects cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Engineering multivalent assembled protein to mimic hypoxia-inducible factor

• Enhancing quadruped robot motion: A reinforcement learning approach for extreme agility, stability, and safety

• High-resolution neural interface SoC with meta-structure-enhanced wireless power transmission

• Leveraging modern vision-language models for traffic camera scene understanding

• EMI shielded and FOD enabled smart wireless EV charging station powered by renewable energy

• Unconventional physically unclonable functions for micro-fluidics and supply chain fingerprinting
