Ever since Jason Ogbebor set foot in a chemistry classroom in high school, he knew he was destined to conduct high-level, impactful research. Looking to science legends — Mendeleev, Bohr, Einstein — Ogbebor is realizing his dreams and is on his way to pursue a Ph.D. at MIT.

New Jersey Institute of Technology served up waves of fanfare as its advanced degree graduates walked across the stage in the Wellness and Events Center in three commencement ceremonies on May 16.

Recently, several of NJIT’s star undergrad seniors were decorated at this month’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards for their diverse accomplishments across the STEM sciences.

Dr. Teik C. Lim was installed as NJIT’s ninth president in a ceremony that welcomed students, alumni, faculty, staff, elected officials, family and friends to NJIT’s Wellness and Event Center.

New Jersey Institute of Technology maintains its national reputation for return on investment and career placement in 2023 rankings from The Princeton Review.

Among public schools, The Princeton Review ranked NJIT No. 11 on its list of the Top 20 for Best Career Placement and No. 35 on its list of the Top 50 Best Value Colleges. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology further burnishes its reputation in engineering and computer science in the latest graduate studies rankings from U.S. News & World Report.

NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering (NCE) now ranks No. 77 on the publication’s list of the Best Engineering Schools in the U.S. — up eight notches from last year. It’s the eighth consecutive year that NCE has made the top 100.

NJIT’s largest and oldest college invited students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends to join together for NCE’s 25th Salute to Engineering Excellence celebration. The annual event honors the contributions and impact of the NCE community and features the college’s upcoming star students, dedicated faculty and staff, impactful alumni and industry partners.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has selected John Pelesko to serve as its next provost and senior vice president for academic affairs after a nationwide search. Pelesko, currently the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware (UD), will start on Aug. 1.

Environmental safety and corporate interests tend not to match, but engineers at NJIT and Israel's Ben Gurion University of the Negev found a way to filter dangerous nitrate from water while also reducing the energy needed to create industrial ammonia.

Tiny particles in Earth’s atmosphere can have a big impact on climate. But understanding exactly how these aerosol particles form cloud drops and affect the absorption and scattering of sunlight is one of the biggest sources of uncertainty in climate models. Ogochukwu (Ogo) Enekwizu, a postdoctoral research associate in the Environmental and Climate Sciences Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, is trying to tame that complexity.

“Our task is to mimic what happens in the atmosphere by making a cloud in the lab,” she said.
