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.

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. 

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. 

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.

Researchers at NJIT and Universidad Carlos III of Madrid wanted to know if mixed-reality games could be improved by handing control to artificial intelligence software in the form of conversational language applications — it turns out they can, but the results may put players in danger.

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).

A record number of students and alumni attended New Jersey Institute of Technology’s latest Career Fair — 3,300 — with some 240 companies looking to fill more than 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative education experiences.

The macro numbers were impressive — for the third straight fair — but it was smaller moments that students appreciated most, such as the opportunity to talk one-on-one with representatives of companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Mars and Campbell Soup. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s annual tradition of recognizing university faculty who have excelled as researchers, scholars and instructors took place Oct. 4 in the Central King Building’s Agile Strategy Lab.

“We celebrate the achievements of our faculty and educators here today not because of what they bring to the classroom or the laboratory, but because of the lives they change,” said John Pelesko, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. “We celebrate their commitment to our common goal of student success and the pursuit of knowledge.”
