Yuwei Liu is in his fourth year of pursuing his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. Under the advisement of Professor Xuan Liu in the Lab of biomedical optical imaging and sensing. His research focuses on optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT image analysis assisted by machine learning, and optically computed phase microscopy.

What would you say that could be the next big thing in your area of research?

Hundreds of students in NJIT’s introductory engineering course, Fundamentals of Engineering Design 101, are having a greater shared experience during the fall 2023 semester than any incoming class since the 1990s.

Back then, Newark College of Engineering began customizing the FED syllabus for each major field. Chemical engineering students may have learned more about compounding and processing, while civil engineering students learned the basics of surveying and transportation systems.

Abdullah Hossain, born and raised in New York City, is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering with nearly 20 journal and conference publications. His research interests are diverse including integrated sensing and communications, photonics, radio access, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), optical, and core networks. He worked as an engineer for the Consolidated Edison Company of New York and held a research position at Futurewei Technologies. For several years, he has been an Adjunct Lecturer for the City University of New York.

Leaders from the wind power industry, state and federal agencies, venture capital firms and higher education will gather at NJIT in December for a conference about the technology driving the development of energy from wind.

NJIT has established employee resource groups (ERG) that meet regularly and encourage faculty and staff to connect outside of their direct working relationships. This month, NJIT is celebrating its Hispanic/Latino ERG and profiled two of its members: Vivian Lanzot, director of Community and Public Service in the Career Development Services office; and Roberto Rojas-Cessa, professor in the Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).

Atilla Sivri is a Ph.D. student in the Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). He has the privilege of working under the guidance of Dr. Moshe Kam, who is his Ph.D. advisor, and the Dean of the Newark College of Engineering (NCE). His primary research focus is on refining pulse oximetry sensors. These sensors play a pivotal role in health monitoring and are often used by nurses and doctors to quickly assess the condition of a patient presented to them.

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s rise in national rankings continues, with U.S. News & World Report placing NJIT No. 86 among national universities for 2024 — a jump of 11 rungs from 2023.

Yongjie Guan is a fifth-year Ph.D. student whose passion lies at the intersection of technology, research, and real-world problem solving. With a background that spans both academia and practical application. He is deeply invested in designing and deploying real systems such as Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality (AR/MR) systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, and distributed machine learning systems.

Economic mobility was a new factor in Niche ranking New Jersey Institute of Technology No. 45 among all U.S. institutions for “Best Value,” reaffirming the university’s return on investment to its students and alumni. NJIT earned the No. 1 spot for “Best Value” among New Jersey public institutions.

Niche, a college ranking and review platform, evaluated 4,048 public and private four-year colleges nationwide and developed separate lists for the best academics, value, food, dorms and college life.

A little-known R&D facility, operated by NJIT’s New Jersey Innovation Institute with the U.S. Army Picatinny Arsenal for its primary client, is beginning to thrive one year after moving off-campus.

The facility is called COMET — Collaborative Operationalized Manufacturing Engineering and Training — located about 30 miles northwest of NJIT’s Newark campus, close to Picatinny, which is the Army headquarters for conventional weapons development.
