LunaTech, a web application where players can learn about space from a cartoon cat and send their professors into orbit, won first place in GirlHacks 2023 at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

The application is the brainchild of Fizah Fahad, Adrianna Rust and Ayushi Sangoi, who combined to win a $1,500 cash prize for their efforts. The trio coded in CSS, JavaScript, Python and a NASA programming interface.

If you're a human resource specialist grappling with AI-based decision systems for hiring good candidates, or a data scientist trying to develop transparent and accountable ranking algorithms for decision-making in critical socio-technical contexts, you will likely benefit from the research of Aritra Dasgupta, an assistant professor in the Department of Data Science at NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing.

In an effort for students to share their insights and drive positive change within the NJIT community, Provost and Senior Vice president for Academic Affairs John Pelesko, and Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Marybeth Boger have launched the NJIT Undergraduate Student Advisory Council.

A research group led by Distinguished Professor David Bader has won the 2023 Student Innovation Award from the IEEE High Performance Extreme Computing (HPEC) conference for their paper “Triangle Counting Through Cover-Edges.”

An ongoing collaboration between AT&T and NJIT over the past three years has produced several publications and patent applications for inventions that have the potential to revolutionize network experiences.

Using AI to improve customer experiences

Artificial intelligence can be used to improve wireless networking and the app experience by predicting cellular traffic.

Computer science and religion are rarely thought of together as connected research areas, but it’s going well for NJIT student Fernando Mantilla, who is performing a geospatial analysis of more than 200 street shrines in Newark’s historic Ironbound neighborhood.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is the second-highest ranked public university in the Wall Street Journal/College Pulse 2024 list of the Best Colleges in the U.S.
