He was also a member of Albert Dorman Honors College.

New findings published Jan. 27 in the journal Nature Astronomy have called into question decades of theoretical understanding used by astrophysicists to interpret an observational phenomenon central to understanding energy released during powerful eruptions from the Sun, known as solar flares.

NJIT students can soon see their out-of-pocket costs reduced thanks to New Jersey’s Garden State Guarantee (GSG), which makes a college degree more accessible and affordable for New Jersey residents who attend in-state, public four-year institutions.
