NJIT men's volleyball rising senior Alvaro Gimeno will represent the Spanish National Team for the third straight summer. The national team will compete from August 30 to September 6 in Cyprus. The qualifier games will consist of three days of games, two days of rest and three more games against Cyprus, Moldavia, Latvia and Spain. The champion qualifies for 2021 EuroVolley.

A fossil recently recovered from the age of the dinosaurs is giving scientists the most vivid picture yet of how one of the most enigmatic and fearsome groups of ants to exist once used their uncanny tusk-like mandibles and diverse horns to successfully hunt down victims for nearly 20 million years, before vanishing from the planet...

Communicating by sound underwater works great for dolphins and whales, so an NJIT expert decided to try a new variant of this method for autonomous vehicles, divers and sensors, too. Radio signals used by traditional wireless devices become too weak underwater, explained Ali Abdi, a professor of electrical engineering and director of the Advanced Communication and Signal Processing Laboratory, in NJIT’s Center for Wireless Information Processing.

A team of researchers from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed an algorithm through machine learning that helps predict sites of DNA methylation – a process that can change the activity of DNA without changing its overall structure – and could identify disease-causing mechanisms that would otherwise be missed by conventional screening methods. The paper was published online by the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.

Research expenditures at NJIT for fiscal year 2019 were $161 million, with the university ranked as an R1 (“Very High Research”) institution by the prestigious Carnegie Classification. Our six-part retrospective continues with this fourth installment focusing on just a handful of the studies covered over the past three summers that contributed to this noteworthy designation.

Matthew Berdel, a systems engineer who tests software during the workweek, spent his Saturday mornings in NJIT’s Makerspace last semester immersed in engineering of a very different sort: constructing a working machine from fabricated parts. “I wanted to know more about hardware,” Berdel explained. “I was looking for a deeper understanding of electrical and mechanical systems – and to develop a new set of skills I can rely on.”

Those submitted by each Thursday will be included in the following week's Updates and Announcements email.

NJIT alumni have gone on to start their own businesses, become forces in a variety of industries and make an impact on society. In this third of a six-part series, we take a look at several of the Highlander graduates we profiled during the past few summers. Click on the headlines below.

In a study published in Nature Astronomy, an international team of researchers has presented a new, detailed look inside the “central engine” of a large solar flare accompanied by a powerful eruption first captured on Sept.

In a robotics lab spilling over with 3D-printed parts, engineering students are gutting toy trucks, SUVs, sedans and two-door Mini Coopers and refitting them with custom-designed systems: laser-cut side mirrors, wheels that can parallel park and a braking system that employs algorithms to control an electric motor, thus enabling soft and hard breaking, idling and taxiing.
