Think twice about eliminating those pesky ants at your next family picnic. Their behavior may hold the key to reinventing how engineering materials, traffic control and multi-agent robots are made and utilized, thanks to research conducted by recent graduate Matthew Loges ’25 and Assistant Professor Tomer Weiss from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing.

Computer Science education has gone through boom-and-bust cycles before.

The best-known ones happened in the mid-1980s after the PC boom and in the early-2000s after the dot-com boom. There are reasons to believe that computing in general will recover from the current bust, but there might be a shift away from basic computer science to data science and artificial intelligence (two closely related fields).

Words have meaning – and so do sounds. They can signal danger, establish a setting or create a mood. But what if you have a complete or partial hearing loss?

Accessibility technology has thus far made great strides in captioning words when viewing video content but overlooks the nuances of visualizing elements of environmental sounds, music or speaking style. Even then, how these subtle audio cues are communicated is dependent on the preferences and needs of the individual.
