NJIT’s Department of Data Science in the Ying Wu College of Computing is launching two new graduate programs in artificial intelligence during the 2023 academic year, in support of the increasing demand for qualified AI engineers and analysts to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making in the digital world of the future. The new programs will address the dramatic growth and proliferation of AI technologies into the mainstream, such as the recent debut of the ChatGPT application. The M.S. in Artificial Intelligence is scheduled to launch this summer. The Graduate Certificate in…

New Jersey Institute of Technology is now ranked fourth in the nation for its M.S. in Cybersecurity and online M.S. in Data Science, according to Fortune magazine. Researchers in both fields were quite busy in 2022, working at the Newark main campus and NJIT @JerseyCity, and through Ying Wu College of Computing, Cybersecurity Research Center, Institute for Data Science. There is also collaboration with Israel's Ben Guiron University of the Negev through the mutually operated Institute for Future Technologies. Data science — along with its cousins in artificial intelligence and machine…

NJIT’s dean of Ying Wu College of Computing, Craig Gotsman, is among 57 researchers worldwide named as a 2022 Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, the leading global organization for computing research. The ACM Fellows program, since 1993, recognizes the top 1% of ACM members annually for their outstanding accomplishments in computing and information technology, as well as or service to ACM and the larger computing community. These individuals have made significant contributions in topics across the spectrum of computing, including algorithms, data science, graphics,…

Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and New Jersey Institute of Technology developed new software that integrates a variety of information from a single cell, allowing researchers to see how one change in a cell can lead to several others and providing important clues for pinpointing the exact causes of genetic-based diseases. The findings were published by Nature Communications. Single-cell sequencing allows researchers to look at specific aspects of a cell to determine how it interacts with its microenvironment. This is particularly relevant in cancer research…

NJIT students Aliya Laliwala and Mrunmayi Joshi have been selected to be part of this year’s Governor’s STEM Scholars class, which includes 128 scholars from 20 New Jersey counties — the program’s largest cohort ever. The Governor’s STEM Scholars program was created to engage the next generation of research and innovation leaders in the state’s vast STEM economy early. Sixty-four percent of the class identify as female and 83% as students of color. When they graduate in May 2023, they will join an alumni cohort of over 700 Scholars. Laliwala is a freshman majoring in computer science, while…

When a Turing Award winner speaks, NJIT faculty and students listen. Jeffrey Ullman, known as a father of the modern compiler at Bell Labs and Princeton University in the 1960-1970s, filled the largest lecture hall in NJIT's Guttenberg Information Technologies Center for his October 14 lecture on data science, as part of the Ying Wu College of Computing’s distinguished speaker series. Ullman won his Turing Award, considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in computing, in 2020. He is now professor emeritus at Stanford University. He talked about his new passion, data science, which…

New kinds of unconventional computer hardware, along with new ways of considering software responsibility, are both necessary if the next wave of data science will do anything more useful for the world than increase corporate profits. Such were two key messages expressed by experts from IBM and Google at the Data Science Summit this month, hosted by New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Institute for Data Science, in the NJIT @  JerseyCity location which also houses the university's Institute for Future Technologies and various graduate-level courses from Ying Wu College of Computing. "…

Three student veterans at NJIT were among the first to be awarded a new scholarship administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, named for the long-serving Massachusetts congresswoman and steadfast advocate for veterans, provides up to nine months of additional post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, up to $30,000. Recipients must be enrolled in a STEM degree program or seeking a teaching certificate. Jaime Esquilin majored in information technology (IT) and minored in management information systems, with plans to pursue his master’s in IT…
