Experimental technology setup with gold-plated devices, wires and a microscope.
Experimental devices and systems developed at Princeton, like this setup in Kaushik Sengupta’s lab, have opened new capabilities in high-frequency wireless sensing and communication for next-generation applications.

NextG

Wireless, information, and networked systems constitute the core infrastructure of the 21st century. NextG research focuses on networks that are open, flexible, secure, resilient, and utilize new spectrum from radio to terahertz frequencies. This work draws on multiple disciplines and ranges from underlying theory to high-impact applications. From the edge to the cloud, and from circuits to sensors to security, we are creating the intelligent networks of the future.

Princeton researchers have created a tool that allows small networks such as businesses and universities to improve the performance and privacy of their internet traffic. The team included (from left) Benjamin Herber, a 2022 B.S.E. and 2023 M.Eng. graduate in electrical and computer engineering; Sophia Yoo, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering; Maria Apostolaki, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering; and Henry Birge-Lee, a research software engineer in Princeton’s computer science department. Jennifer Rexford, Princeton University Provost and Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor in Engineering (not pictured) also coauthored the research paper. Photo by Sameer A. Khan/Fotobuddy
