Suhib Al-Hindi is a PhD researcher in high-performance computing at NJIT, under the supervision of Prof. Qing Liu. His research sits at the intersection of HPC and distributed systems, with a focus on data movement, system efficiency, and quality of service. He studies how large-scale systems read, write, and move data. His work includes data reduction and reconstruction methods that improve efficiency while preserving the data quality the user needs.

Akhila Kandivalasa is a PhD student in the ECE department working on observability for dynamic state estimation in power systems. She grew up near a thermal power station and was always fascinated how those "giant machines" operated. During her undergraduate studies, power systems remained one of her favorites.

Aditya Kale is an EE Ph.D. candidate advised by Dr. Marcos Netto. His research focuses on the Koopman Operator theory of Dynamical Systems. Specifically, the open problem of discovering provably optimal observables for complex nonlinear systems.

Tara Alvarez, a distinguished professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT, won first place in the inaugural Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) / National Academy of Inventors (NAI) International Patent Award competition.

Her patented technology, branded as VERVE (Virtual Eye Rotation Vision Exercises), is a virtual reality game to correct an eye motor disorder called convergence insufficiency, in which the muscles that control eye movements do not coordinate to focus on near objects, to see them singly and clearly.

Daniel Vargas ‘15, a systems safety engineer at Nvidia, is at the forefront of one of the most exciting and transformative fields in technology—autonomous vehicles. With a career that began in aerospace and defense, Vargas — who graduated with a degree in electrical engineering — has now transitioned into the tech world, where he ensures that Nvidia’s cutting-edge innovations are safe, reliable and compliant.

Machine vision sensors could work faster and more efficiently if they were designed like biological eyes, according to Associate Professor Dong-Kyun Ko, at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department.

Industrial engineering student Bianca Hernandez wrapped up her internship at AriZona Beverage Co., putting forth all the skills and knowledge she has acquired at NJIT. 

“Since being there, it's been a really great experience,” said Hernandez, who minors in safety engineering. “Everyone was very welcoming, and this may seem very rare in terms of internships, but the people that I work with daily, they view me more as a coworker rather than an intern. 

As Fimimolaoluwa Are prepares to start working at Honeywell after earning a bachelor’s in chemical engineering, she feels grateful for all the support and experiences she had at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

“Chemical engineer I” is her title at Honeywell, where she’ll undergo a year of training before joining the company’s Field Operating Service team. Reflecting on how she got there, she credits mentors, internships, networking and the embrace of a welcoming community.

A research team from New Jersey Institute of Technology is uncovering mysteries surrounding fluids in nanoporous materials, and has been recently awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support this research.

Jorge Alberto Medina '23 grew up with electronics. He recalls watching his dad disassemble and rebuild electronic equipment, and leafed through stacks of monthly electronics magazines as his light reading material. The exposure grew into a passion, and Medina set his sights on a journey that ultimately brought him to NJIT.
