NJIT has demonstrated significant growth in key research metrics that contribute to the R1 designation. The university’s research expenditures have reached $165 million based on the Carnegie-measured three-year…

A new 360-degree perspective on wound care has already attracted attention from the health care industry, and Assistant Professor Salam Daher and Dahlia Musa Ph.D. ’25 from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing have a goal to further develop a 3D graphics simulation tool to patent it for commercial use.  Their submission to “Simventors” (short for simulation inventors) to demonstrate a "System to Visualize, Measure, and Track Simulated Wounds in 3D" recently won the Best Innovation Award at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) 2025 in Orlando, Florida. The work is…

Three NJIT undergraduates — two from the Hillier College of Architecture and Design and one from the Ying Wu College of Computing — won the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship to study abroad.  Architecture majors Nataly Mendez ’27 and Tyler Hebert ’26 will participate in HCAD’s Kunstmeile Austria studio program, while computer science major and Albert Dorman Honors Scholar Amitesh Arya ’25 will study in South Korea during this semester with the ISEP program.  “Our professors tell us that experiencing architecture abroad enriches our minds on what was and can be built,”…

In modern software, the train of security vulnerabilities is headed full-steam at the artificial intelligence track, while experts from NJIT, Rutgers University and Temple University are developing new educational materials intended to prevent a collision. NJIT’s Cong Shi, assistant professor in Ying Wu College of Computing, is a principal investigator on the $127,000 grant, Education on Securing AI System under Adversarial Machine Learning Attacks, from the National Science Foundation. His prior research on the security of computer vision systems and voice assistants led him and…

As a sophomore at New Jersey Institute of Technology, Krishi Shah has already accomplished a lot. Last summer, the computer science major helped engineer software as an intern at PULLATracker while conducting research at the NJIT’s Undergraduate Research and Innovation Program. She also began an apprenticeship at Cornell Tech that’s focused on artificial intelligence. That apprenticeship continues this academic year, with Shah developing a machine learning model to suggest relevant search queries for Google. In addition, she’s analyzing data for Johnson & Johnson in a cooperative…

Over 100 Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC) scholars showcased their semester's research at the Honors Interdisciplinary Research Forum, featuring work from three foundational courses: Introduction to Research Writing, Introduction to Research Methods and — new for this semester — Introduction to Entrepreneurship. Students in Honors Introduction to Research Writing showcased interdisciplinary projects inspired by trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, blending arts, sciences and engineering.
