NJIT Researchers Aim to Build Brain-Inspired Computing Systems

Friday, July 6, 2018
Two NJIT researchers, working with collaborators from the IBM Research Zurich Laboratory and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, have demonstrated a novel synaptic architecture that could lead to a new class of information processing systems inspired by the brain. The findings are an important step toward building more energy-efficient computing systems that also are capable of learning and adaptation in the real world. They were published in a paper in the journal Nature Communications. The researchers, Bipin Rajendran, an associate professor of electrical and computer...

NJIT Car Maven Takes on the American Solar Challenge, Then It's Off to Tesla

Friday, June 1, 2018
Jason Murzello’s fascination with cars began in a fairly typical way – with his own matchbox set – but then veered into technology by way of video games such as “Need for Speed,” which allow budding aficionados to tinker with performance by switching out not only tires, but suspensions and engines as well. Add another layer, the chance to build a real, solar car from scratch in a garage a block from campus, and you have the makings of a career. This summer, the 2018 electrical engineering graduate will begin working in a New Jersey Tesla dealership, where, as a technician, he will...
