Rate My Professor Daniel Abraham

Daniel Abraham is a professor at New York University, affiliated with the NYU WIRELESS center in the Tandon School of Engineering, where he collaborates with Professor Theodore S. Rappaport on RF propagation measurements, channel modeling, data normalization, analysis, and simulation. As Assistant Director of Physical Sciences Technology Transfer at NYU Technology Opportunities and Ventures (TOV), Abraham facilitates the commercialization of research in physical sciences, drawing on his extensive experience in technology development and intellectual property management. His work supports initiatives like NYU's Wireless Commercialization Initiative in partnership with IEEE, focusing on accessing and analyzing wireless propagation data for next-generation systems.

Abraham earned his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Irvine. He conducted research on nanostructured materials at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory and the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. His career includes senior leadership roles such as Vice President of Science and Business Strategy at MPEG LA, Director of Licensing at Columbia Technology Ventures, Vice President of GE Technology Development, and Vice President of R&D at Veeco Instruments. These positions advanced technologies including spintronic devices for magnetic data storage, leading to their widespread adoption. Abraham has co-authored significant publications in wireless communications, including 'NYUSIM: A Roadmap to AI-Enabled Statistical Channel Modeling and Data Analytics for 6G Wireless Systems' (2026) and 'Standardized Machine-Readable Point-Data Format for Consolidating Wireless Propagation Data Across Environments, Frequencies, and Institutions' (2025), contributing to NYU WIRELESS's development of the NYUSIM channel simulator. He has presented on innovation and technology transfer at NYU Tandon School of Engineering events, such as the April 2025 talk 'Promoting Innovation and Speeding Adoption' and seminars in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department.
