About the Theme
Technology, Media & Society (TMS)
The modern role of technology in digital media has caused a fundamental shift in the way our society communicates, markets and innovates. The fusion of media and technology has disrupted and displaced old models of innovation while simultaneously paving new paths toward invention. As a national leader in innovation, invention and entrepreneurship, NYU-Poly seeks to arm faculty and students with the tools and support needed to turn their research into viable applications, products, and services that take flight.
