Aseel Zeinati is a second-year Ph.D. student advised by Professor Misra at the VLSI lab. Her research is centered on characterizing the next generation of non-volatile memory, such as resistive random access-memory (RRAM), for in-memory and neuromorphic computing, with the goal of replacing the conventional computing systems in use today. She attends several ECS (Electrochemical Society) conferences. As a mother of two children, she is also a talented storyteller, a skill that has honed her ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable information.

If predictions come true that renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind generators are the primary suppliers of tomorrow’s power grids, then the engineers maintaining those grids will need new innovations in fault detection, made possible by researchers like NJIT Associate Professor Joshua Taylor. The problem is that traditional power grids use fault detection methods designed for what’s called synchronous generation, as with gas power plants, and those methods work poorly for inverter-based generation found in renewable systems.

New Jersey Institute of Technology has maintained its remarkable run in The Princeton Review’s annual guide to the best universities and colleges in the United States.
