Sophomore computer science major Hari Sah was on the gold medal team at this year’s Project/Problem-Based Learning competition, hosted by National Taipei University of Technology, where students from New Jersey Institute of Technology brandished their skills against peers from around the world.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) researchers harness artificial intelligence for unprecedented insights into conditions in the Sun’s lower atmosphere driving some of the solar system’s most powerful explosions, capable of disrupting critical infrastructure on Earth.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is launching a new, $10+ million initiative that will significantly advance the university’s strength in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and position NJIT to become a leader in both AI research and application in higher education. This augments already significant existing academic and research activity in AI and related programs. In 2023 alone, NJIT research related to AI totaled nearly $60 million.

Assistant Professor Pan Xu in the Department of Computer Science has been honored with having two of his papers selected by the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), one of three primary conferences of high impact in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The co- authored paper on Promoting External and Internal Equities Under Ex-Ante/Ex-Post Metrics in Online Resource Allocation was one of only 3.5% accepted in the highly competitive Spotlight category.

Distinguished Professor Guiling (Grace) Wang in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) recently co-organized a special event, Finance Day, under the theme of “Finance” as part of KDD 2024 held in Barcelona Spain with her collaborator, Daniel Barraio, AI research director at JP Morgan Chase. Professor Baruch Schieber and Associate Professor Senjuti Basu Roy, along with MD Mouinul Ph.D. ’23, and Ph.D.

The 2024 academic year kicked off with a Convocation that had a different spin. With the participation of DJ Ricky Bonds, NJIT’s Jazz Band ‘Elementals,’ Highland Dancers and bagpipers and even a special edition of Family Feud NJIT-style, the university’s incoming class received an upbeat welcome.

Three distinct problems in data science — trend identification in graphs, the quantitative study of scientific literature and evaluation of single-cell genomics — will all be addressed by new research in large-scale network analytics, jointly led by Distinguished Professor David Bader at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Trang Dang, a senior computer science major in the Ying Wu College of Computing, has been awarded the 2024 Anne Wiley Scholarship by NJIT’s Murray Center for Women in Technology. The award is given through nomination by deans or department chairs for exemplary service in support of advancing the representation of women in STEM fields.

Throughout her time at NJIT, Dang sought to use the opportunities afforded to her to find her fit and pursue a personal and professional career trajectory that would match an aptitude for excellence with a passion for making a difference.

Computer Science department chairs from several New Jersey universities and community colleges met at the Ying Wu College of Computing’s (YWCC) NJIT@JerseyCity location to discuss the state of computer science education with a focus on improving access for a broader diversity of students as part of a forward-looking AI workforce.  

Five professors and administrators from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have been recognized as "Enterprising Women in Commerce" by Commerce Magazine, an honor that highlights outstanding achievements across a range of industries.

The honorees are among the select group chosen by the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey, celebrating excellence in fields including accounting, architecture, environmental services, financial services, health care, higher education, human resources, law, marketing, non-profit work and real estate.
