Rajesh Davé, a problem-driven inventor whose groundbreaking methods for re-engineering tiny particles have fueled advances in drug formulations, delivery systems and manufacturing processes, is the 2022 winner of the prestigious Pharmaceutical Development, Discovery and Manufacturing Forum (PD2M) Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
NJIT and the National Academy of Construction (NAC), with the support from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine hosted a symposium to bring together members from the industry, government and academia to collectively work together to help students become much more productive when they enter the workforce and understand the concept of safety in their professions.
A research paper on metal carbides and nitrides is paying dividends for NJIT’s Meng-Qiang Zhao — eight years after it was published.
For the fourth straight year, Zhao, an assistant professor of chemical and materials engineering at NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering, has made Clarivate’s list of Highly Cited Researchers. Why? Chiefly because peers continue to cite the paper, which introduced a faster and safer way to synthesize MXenes, a family of novel 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, according to Zhao.
NJIT researchers have received a $620,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to advance our understanding of the way in which soot particles from combustion of fossil fuels are driving climate change in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Associate Professor of Chemistry Alexei Khalizov and Associate Professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering Gennady Gor will lead the project, “A Multiscale Model for Restructuring of Atmospheric Soot Particles”.
Scientists at NJIT and in Germany are working to understand how ions congregate around nanoporous materials, which could lead to safety and reliability improvements for electronic components such as supercapacitors and microscopically tiny actuators.
Nanoscale porous materials are used in everyday objects such as household water filters and gas masks, but there is little research into how such surfaces behave when interacting with electrolytes, which can create internal stress that changes the material's physical properties.
New Jersey Institute of Technology is a top 10 Best College for Engineering Majors in the U.S., according to Money.
Marcos Molina, a chemical engineer with a penchant for complicated algorithms, made a tough call when deciding among Ph.D. programs at several graduate Ivy League institutions. In the end, he chose to pursue theoretical and computational research at Princeton.
Students from NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering have earned first, second and third place recognitions across steel bridge, chemical car and concrete canoe events held for inter-institutional competition.
The Assistant Speaker of the House of Representatives visited New Jersey Institute of Technology to get a closer look at how STEM education and research fuels the economic mobility of the city, region and country.
Business publication ROI-NJ included several NJIT executives and faculty among its annual list of New Jersey's top technology influencers.
