NJIT Research on Nanoporous Materials Would Make Electronics Stronger, Safer

Thursday, September 1, 2022
Scientists at NJIT and in Germany are working to understand how ions congregate around nanoporous materials, which could lead to safety and reliability improvements for electronic components such as supercapacitors and microscopically tiny actuators. Nanoscale porous materials are used in everyday objects such as household water filters and gas masks, but there is little research into how such surfaces behave when interacting with electrolytes, which can create internal stress that changes the material's physical properties. The electrolytes form when materials are exposed to water,...

Ph.D. Student's Research Can Reduce Wind Turbine Costs by $15M Annually

Thursday, August 18, 2022
NJIT student Akhyurna Swain has a plan to save $15 million per year in the maintenance and operational costs of New Jersey's offshore wind turbines. Swain, studying for her Ph.D. in electrical engineering, determined that non-intrusive monitoring technology controlled by magnets can be paired with machine learning software to realize the impressive cost savings for an 1,100-megawatt project which will begin construction in 2024. Windmill technology began in the first millennium of the common era, but modern high-tech turbines reach a new plane of productivity. They'll be located 15...

Campus Event Inspires High School Girls to Study Electrical Engineering

Tuesday, July 26, 2022
NJIT's electrical and computer engineering department hosted 65 girls representing 40 high schools in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania last week, teaching the students about opportunities in technical fields where females are historically overlooked. The day-long conference, SHE in ECE, included a panel discussion by female faculty in Newark College of Engineering, instruction using hands-on electronics kits to teach future engineers about household technology, tours of the NJIT makerspace and opportunities to meet current female undergraduates. "The idea of this event is to bring...

Yang Deng - ECE PhD Student of the Month - July 2022

Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Yang Deng is a PhD candidate supervised by Prof. Tao Han at UNICS Lab in the ECE Department at NJIT. Prior to NJIT,  he was a research assistant at University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research interests include 5G/6G network resource management, edge computing, blockchain, and machine learning. What do you think would be an impactful move in your research area? I believe that integrating machine learning methods to automate network resource management and using blockchain to build a more scalable, accessible, and secure mobile network would be some impactful moves to...

NJIT Students Find Summer Work at Merck, Meta, Apple, National Institutes of Health and More

Thursday, July 21, 2022
NJIT students have found excellent work in co-ops and internships this summer. It is a great way to gain real-world experience in their field of study, and to network with professionals in their chosen field. And, of course, the added benefit of earning money to help pay for tuition and other expenses. Hands-on, real-world experience allows students to apply what they have learned in the classroom, and bring back a more-focused approach to their studies. Additionally, such experience provides students with the opportunity to further develop important skills, such as problem-solving and...

Guanxiong Liu is a Ph.D. candidate in the Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). He works under the advisory of Professor Abdallah Khreishah in the area of machine learning security which covers adversarial machine learning, neural network Trojan attack & defense, and federated learning security. What attracted you to NJIT? When looking for a doctoral program, the advisor and project are always important considerations. When I was searching for potential opportunities for my PhD study, NJIT gave...

Newark High School Students Learn About Robotics and Life From NJIT Peers

Tuesday, June 28, 2022
Robotics club students at New Jersey Institute of Technology are mentoring their peers in robotics clubs at local high schools, striving to teach younger minds that hands-on experimentation and teamwork can take you anywhere. Umair Khan, president of the NJIT group, said his team members are working with students in Newark's Barringer High School, Malcolm X Shabazz High School, Science Park High School, School of Global Studies and Tech High School, along with Paterson's International High School. The mentorship program started a couple of years ago with Science Park which is around the...

Mixed Reality Could be the Future of High-Tech Coaching in Team Sports

Thursday, June 16, 2022
Every pitcher believes he has enough gas for one more strike-out, but an invention from NJIT Associate Professor Tao Han might forever change that old stare-down between players and coaches on the mound. A coach wearing a mixed-reality headset could receive real-time statistics and facial interpretation data to evaluate whether the pitcher is right to stand his ground, what he should change or whether it's time to call the bullpen, while also interfacing with a team of analysts and trainers who work remotely and see the same information. As today's baseball analytics are called...
