The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has elected co-vice chair of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) Board of Trustees Norma Clayton ’81 as a new member. The culmination of a yearlong process, Clayton is part of a new cohort of 111 national and 22 international members, bringing the NAE’s total U.S. membership to 2,388 and the number of international members to 310.

Imagine designing an inexpensive, flat and strong structure that bends perfectly into Spaceship Earth from Disney's EPCOT theme park. NJIT's Przemyslaw Musialski, associate professor of computer science, believes his latest research is a step in the right direction, sitting at the intersection of architecture, computing and geometry.

Gennady Gor is becoming a go-to expert at combining the power of chemistry and computers to protect our bodies. Gor's specialty is molecular simulation of fluids and their interactions with porous materials. "I am interested in coupling between surface chemistry and mechanics. This is the main focus of my NSF Career Award from 2020," he explained.

A massive banner is plastered onto the bridge above the Campus Center for all to see: “#1 Nationally for Student Upward Economic Mobility.” It’s true. NJIT has one of the highest percentages of students from the bottom fifth of the income distribution who end up in the top fifth. No programs are more responsible for this accolade than the Office of the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the NJIT chapter of the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME).

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has reaffirmed its status among the nation’s most elite and productive research institutions by once again achieving an R1 status — the highest designation — by the Carnegie Classification.

Eliza Michalopoulou, mathematics professor and chair of NJIT’s Department of Mathematical Sciences, has been named Distinguished Lecturer by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) — a premier professional organization dedicated to advancing engineering and technology in marine environments.
