Music lovers know that there is nothing like a live performance, but the COVID-19 pandemic inspired Newark's New Jersey Symphony Orchestra to challenge Ying Wu College of Computing faculty and students to investigate better ways to present virtual concerts using mixed-reality technology.
It's not your typical five-day forecast, as researchers with the Institute for Future Technologies, a joint venture of NJIT and Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, are improving solar weather prediction by adding data visualization techniques to their existing artificial intelligence methods.
Just about everyone in college has a Facebook account, uses their Instagram service, or knows someone who does, but Ying Wu College of Computing new graduate Catarina DeMatos is going to work there.
DeMatos, of Chatham, first interned at Facebook as a rising junior in summer 2019, so she had an inroad to becoming an employee upon graduation this month with a B.S. in computer science.
When Fusion Recruiting Labs, a tech company that builds employment tools to help customers accelerate hiring processes and increase the efficiency of HR recruitment campaigns, wanted to help their 77 staff members realize maximum benefit from its database systems, they contacted the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) at NJIT.
New Jersey Institute of Technology formally graduated more than 3,000 students today, in a hybrid in-person and virtual ceremony due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
Kimberly Bryant, founder and CEO of Black Girls Code, delivered this year’s commencement address. Black Girls Code is a non-profit organization teaching computer science skills to Black females ages 7-11 and emphasizing entrepreneurship. Bryant studied electrical engineering at Vanderbilt University.
New Jersey Institute of Technology has a new campus, but you can only go there by computer because civil engineering major Pawel Sierhej built it entirely in Minecraft.
NJIT's student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery hosted its first cybersecurity competition last month, with one of its own members on the winning team among more than 600 participants from 26 countries.
A computer science major at New Jersey Institute of Technology has earned the top prize in a statewide collegiate competition that judges pitches for innovative business ideas.
The student, Yashwee Kothari ’22, pitched a mobile application for tracking the symptoms of people recovering from traumatic brain injuries – an idea she has been developing since high school.
Human-computer interaction researchers at NJIT and Israel's Ben-Gurion University are exploring how AI-enabled drones could communicate with people at the scene, so that firefighters can save more lives and property.
Firefighters already use drones because they can go where people can't, while human controllers are located someplace safe. But if the drones could get a dose of autonomy, through the clever use of artificial intelligence software, then their usefulness could be interactive rather than only serving as flying cameras and heat sensors.
After a year layoff, one of NJIT’s standout annual research events returned to the campus community this month — more than 30 of the university’s top student-researchers took to their webcams to present their work for a virtual audience at the 2021 Dana Knox Research Showcase, "A Glimpse Into the Future.”
