Neel Adwani is a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering working in the Controls Automation and Robotics Lab (CAR Lab) at NJIT, advised by Dr. Cong Wang. His research focuses on robotic teleoperation, specifically on developing an input device based on intent prediction and for dexterous robotic in-hand manipulation. He is particularly interested in creating intuitive control interfaces that reduce user training time and enhance learning experience.

Most people haven’t heard of resistive RAM — one of several evolving types of computer memory that could become mainstream someday — but its chances at commercial success improved recently, because of insightful new research from NJIT and commercial partner Tokyo Electron.

Sourav Ganguly is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, working in the Learning-Based Decision Making Lab as a research assistant under Dr. Arnob Ghosh. His research interests include machine learning, reinforcement learning, and stochastic control, with a focus on improving safety in autonomous systems operating in uncertain environments while maximizing long-term expected rewards.

For the fifth straight year, New Jersey Institute of Technology is a Top 50 Best Value College in The Princeton Review’s annual ranking of public institutions.

Navid Heydarishahreza is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at NJIT, advised by Professor Nirwan Ansari. His research focuses on link quality optimization, interference management, and mobility management in integrated terrestrial and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks.

Persevere, be authentic, remain flexible and make a difference in the world, speakers told the Class of 2025 at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s undergraduate commencement.

New Jersey Institute of Technology served up a full day of fanfare as its advanced degree graduates walked across the stage in the Bloom Wellness and Events Center in three commencement ceremonies. The 2025 master’s and doctoral class exemplifies the institution’s commitment to research and scholarship across a diverse range of disciplines.

Every year, NJIT’s detachment of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps graduates several successful cadets into the military officer ranks. Three members of the Class of 2025 spoke about their backgrounds that led them to the program, experiences during their time as Highlanders and future plans.

The young men who will soon receive their commissions as second lieutenants are Fredy Aleman Jr., a computer engineering major from Elizabeth; Irvin Hoyos, an architecture major from Paterson; and Michael Ruzzi, an industrial engineering major from Trenton.

Wenrui Zhang is a Ph.D. student at UNICS Lab in the ECE Department at NJIT. He is advised by Dr. Tao Han. Wenrui joined Han’s lab in January 2024 and his research interests include Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC), quantum circuit cutting and Quantum Network (QN).

A robotic alarm clock that hides from you, so you have to get out of bed anyway if you wish to silence it, was the star Highlander entry in the spring 2025 edition of the MakeNJIT hardware hackathon.

The clockmakers earned third place overall among 47 teams from several universities. Members of Team Daniel knew that many tinkerers have built such devices, but they designed their own version just for the fun and education of it.
