Professor Zhi Wei in Ying Wu College of Computing’s Department of Computer Science has been elevated to IEEE Fellow status effective Jan. 1, 2024. The appointment is in recognition of his significant contributions to knowledge discovery from biological data and in the field of bioinformatics.

You are here. This familiar phrase to guide finding a more expedient and less complicated direction can now be applied to the complex world of medical ontologies, thanks to research on a project led by the Ying Wu College of Computing’s Professor Jim Geller and Assistant Professor Margarita Vinnikov.

Associate Professor Hai Phan in Ying Wu College of Computing’s Department of Data Science has been awarded a $740,000 grant through the Qatar Research, Development and Innovation Council (QRDI) to develop a trustworthy federated learning (FL) model that will address new standards for AI safety and security as outlined in

New Jersey court officials are turning to NJIT’s Grace Wang, director of the university’s Center for Artificial Intelligence Research, as their technology expert for a new committee to help judges and lawyers understand AI’s role in the legal system.

Parth Mehta ’19, doesn’t believe in the question of “where do you want to be in five years?” According to him, since you cannot predict the future, don’t aim to build for five years ahead – build it now. When the information technology graduate founded Startup Tribes, his effort to bring startup and entrepreneurial support to the masses, he primarily relied upon sheer will and the conviction to settle for nothing less than 100%... the rest would be learned over time. 

A new committee aims to accelerate gender equity among faculty members at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

The Women Faculty Advisory Committee, chaired by Nancy Steffen-Fluhr, will hold peer forums to examine key issues based on the testimony of junior faculty members. It also intends to poll women faculty to gather quantitative data. Both will fuel an action plan and create a foundation for measuring progress toward faculty gender diversity. 

IEEE Fellow Guiling “Grace” Wang, distinguished professor, associate dean for research, and founding director of the AI Center for Research in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC), has been awarded the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society 2023 Best Land Transportation Paper Award.

Nautical nonsense is something they wished, and it was granted at this year’s edition of HackNJIT, where almost 400 students from New Jersey Institute of Technology and many other schools completed 63 ocean-themed projects.

Artificial intelligence experts from ADP, Amazon and Maersk highlighted this year’s NJIT Data Science Summit, hosted by the university’s Institute for Data Science.

The summit began in 2022 with Google and IBM presenting about hardware and ethics. This year’s focus was on generative AI, large language models and how they’re used in the business world.

Eight Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) students have recently begun their journey as members of the elite CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program during fall 2023 through the NJIT Secure Computing Initiative (SCI), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
