New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has reaffirmed its status among the nation’s most elite and productive research institutions by once again achieving an R1 status — the highest designation — by the Carnegie Classification.

Business school alumnus Tomi Antoljak wants to do for online relationships what NBC's The Voice did for singing competitions.

People using his new mobile app, Hangoo, talk first — and then only get to see each other if there's a match.

"My belief really is that voice is the more authentic way to communicate," said Antoljak, who in 2019 earned a B.S. in business with a concentration in financial technology from NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management. He was also a member of Albert Dorman Honors College.

Aiming to propel discoveries made in university labs into everyday life, the new I-Corps Northeast Hub launched this week following its announcement last summer, as applications are now open for its first researcher training program.

The 4-week program, in which researchers confront the challenges of creating successful startups and entrepreneurial ventures based on scientific and technological discoveries, kicks off Feb. 28 and runs through March 23 online.

The Board of Trustees of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Teik C. Lim as NJIT’s ninth president following a national search and a unanimous vote of the Board on January 5, 2022. President-elect Lim, who also will be appointed as a Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering, will begin his NJIT tenure on July 1, 2022.

Bhargav Samineni loves applied math, and there are few better ways to see math in action than working on scientific computing problems with a mentor from a chip company like AMD.

Samineni interned last summer at the University of California/Los Angeles - Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics, under guidance from an AMD scientific computing engineer in the application of neural networks to acoustic wave propagation, as an exercise in machine learning and a demonstration of the company's graphics processing units.

Social distancing is nothing new in the time of COVID. But new research of the well-studied zebrafish (Danio rerio) has captured a previously undocumented behavior of the animal that takes such measures to the extreme — and the end result resembles the frenzy of a circle pit typically associated with heavy metal concert-goers.

The world is at Samuel Carlos’ fingertips. Since coming NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College out of high school with an associates degree in math and computer science, he’s interned at Amazon, Google, and Facebook. He’s since added a third major - history with a focus on the history of computer science and is now planning to study Mandarin and Southeast Asian technology and politics at National Taiwan University in the spring and summer of 2022. 

NJIT's annual Graduate Student Association Research Day returned to the campus this week, after being cancelled last year because of COVID, with 39 students who are pursuing doctoral and master's degrees showcasing their cutting-edge research on topics such as the pandemic, climate, transportation and cybersecurity.

Students who developed software for game animation, package delivery, lecture transcription and wildlife sightings were all winners at HackNJIT this month.

For the fourth year in a row, a fresh crop of scholars at the Albert Dorman Honors College are nudging the campus towards a more biodiverse environment. Dozens of first-year scholars, armed with shovels, hoes, and mulch, uprooted a swath of landscaped invasive plant species on the sloped lawn outside Eberhardt Hall and replaced them with a diverse array of native plants.
