When Chris Wunderlich was finishing his final semester at New Jersey Institute of Technology, he had two job offers sitting in front of him. One was from Picatinny Arsenal, the U.S. Army's premier research and manufacturing hub for weapons systems, where he would have gone deep into warhead design. The other was from DeSisti, an Italian lighting and rigging company headquartered on Route 22 in North Jersey. He took the job with the Italians.
NJIT’s Dana Knox Research Showcase filled the Bloom Wellness and Events Center with student research spanning science, engineering, computing, management and the humanities. With poster presentations, two-minute elevator speeches and Board Day luncheon attendees moving through the event, the showcase offered a cross-disciplinary snapshot of research activity across the university.
With the launch of the Artemis II mission to the Moon on April 1, a group of students led by project manager Jasmine Geo, a junior computer science major with a minor in applied mathematics and an Honors College scholar, will be busy recreating a lunar mission using a lunar surface vehicle to find water on the darkest regions of the planet for use in future landings.
Undergrad Aiden Finley Lim ’29 woke up the morning after participating in the nation’s toughest undergraduate math competition with a number stuck in his head — one that, as it turned out, he would surpass on his way into NJIT record books.
Lim, a mechanical engineering major in the Albert Dorman Honors College with a minor in applied mathematics, entered the 86th William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition back in December — a six-hour exam widely regarded as the most daunting collegiate math contest in North America.
Engineering has been called "the art of the possible," so it's no wonder that engineers of all types are investigating the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence.
Faculty and student research from NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing abounded at Artificial Intelligence Exploration Day, with faculty and dozens of students presenting their timely work.
A trend was the emphasis on unique ways in which AI works — what we collectively understand, what we don’t and what remains mysterious.
Senjuti Basu Roy, associate professor of computer science, along with her doctoral student Subhodeep Ghosh discussed two approaches to mitigating bias in large language models.
