Haocheng Wang has had the opportunity to experience diverse research environments and cultures across different labs. He earned his B.S. and M.S. in Macau and Pittsburgh, and is now pursuing her Ph.D. at NJIT under the guidance of Dr. Tao Han. His curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring new ideas fuel his passion for daily research. Currently, his work focuses on autonomous vehicle systems, aiming to design high-performance and stable AI-driven systems that push the boundaries of technological advancement.

Most people finish college and then look for full-time employment or enroll in graduate school, but Don Bonifacio did both and is constantly challenging himself to learn new things.

Bonifacio graduated in May from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a B.S. in computer engineering and was a member of Albert Dorman Honors College. He now works at Verizon planning behind-the-scenes engineering for their fiber optic network and is simultaneously continuing in the NJIT computer engineering department this fall for a master’s degree in his field.

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.
