The Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications and Distributed Information Systems (CATT) is a research and education group at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, long-recognized as one of the best engineering schools in the country. The New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation  (NYSTAR), which supports the center, said: "Poly's CATT will be an extremely important component of the state's high technology economic development efforts."

Our researchers are leaders in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science. The Center also draws on the expertise of key researchers at Columbia University.
