A dose of artificial intelligence is helping New Jersey Institute of Technology researchers make sense of how crowds and the individuals within them move around, leading to insights with applications in fields such as emergency management, pedestrian traffic planning, robotics, special effects and even videogames.

Tomer Weiss, assistant professor of Informatics in NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing, leads the research with graduate students to see if AI can complement their understanding of the movement patterns in useful ways.

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.

Gurmeher Singh, a sophomore computer science major with a minor in AI in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) and Albert Dorman Honors College, was the sole NJIT student for the second year to be one of 1,000 accepted from major universities, including Ivy Leagues, out of 15,000 applications to Stanford University’s TreeHacks 2026. The highly selective competition is a touchstone among top hackathons across the world.

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.

Assistant Professor Martin Kellogg in the Ying Wu College of Computing is test piloting a new special topics course in AI-assisted software engineering that aims to give students a competitive edge amidst the rapidly changing AI-driven industry landscape.

A trio of students from New Jersey Institute of Technology have been selected as the inaugural recipients of STEM scholarships from The Aunt Betty Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing the burden of student loans taken on to pay for higher education.

The awards follow a competitive selection process that drew roughly 100 applicants. Seven finalists were interviewed and ultimately three NJIT students were selected: Mitchell Rodriguez of Dunellen, Amir Hayes of Newark and Joshua Hernandez of Teaneck.

Radix IoT announced that its Dailenis González Frómeta Memorial Scholarships have been awarded to a total of 14 students at ULACIT (Costa Rica), and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Honoring the company’s late Lead Software Developer who passed away in October 2024, the $30,000 scholarship was divided between 11 students at Frómeta’s ULACIT alma mater, and three students at NJIT.

Craig Gotsman, distinguished professor of computer science and former dean of the Ying Wu College of Computing, is offering a new way to help you on your next journey to destinations unknown – and it’s recently been patented. 

Veterans who wear prosthetic lower legs could experience healthier and more comfortable lifestyles following novel artificial intelligence research at New Jersey Institute of Technology, in conjunction with the Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
