Can ants help predict the complex dynamics of future humanitarian crises, such as when and where large populations might move during disease outbreaks or armed conflicts? It’s a question that has been posed by Simon Garnier, assistant professor of biological sciences at NJIT, who recently joined the exclusive company of up-and-coming researchers in the nation with a prestigious 2019 Young Faculty Award from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Three faculty members from NJIT's Hillier College of Architecture and Design (HCAD) published new books this year, covering the intersection of public spaces and technology, millenials in architecture, and the impact of automobiles on American city design.

Experts supported by the United Nations wanted to know about the impact of digital technology on public spaces, and two NJIT professors had a seat at the table.

Hundreds of college students from throughout the Northeast will descend on NJIT on Oct. 27 to participate in a prestigious international programming competition. The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), will host its Greater New York Region competition on NJIT’s campus this Sunday. Winners of the regional competition will advance to the national finals to be held next year in Atlanta.

NJIT's Hillier College of Architecture and Design improved in several rankings by Design Intelligence magazine this month. Our interior design program ranked second nationwide for the most hires among 15 similar-sized programs, an impressive improvement from its 14 ranking last year. The magazine also cited interior design coordinator David Brothers as one of the 16 most-admired educators in his field.

The surge in mail-order drug deliveries, amid rising temperatures and climate volatility, presents a growing challenge to the security of the pharmaceutical supply chain. Every time vaccine is subject to excessive heat or cold, for example, its potency may be diminished, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A single exposure to freezing temperatures can destroy a batch entirely.

Five monitors adorn George Eliopoulos' desk — he tried six and said it was too many — where the security analyst is responsible for protecting NJIT computer systems from malicious hackers.

NJIT’s Center for Pre-College Programs (CPCP) hosted its third annual STEM School Leadership Forum Oct. 3 on the university’s campus. The free networking event brings together superintendents and other education professionals to discuss how best to expand and enhance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instruction in secondary schools.

Scientists at NJIT have developed high-capacity, printable-on-demand batteries for everyday appliances that are designed to last nearly three times as long as those currently on store shelves.

Virtual machines are an important kind of software, invented in the 1960s but only popular since the 2000s, that enables servers to run several operating systems simultaneously — but lately they're facing an efficiency problem that NJIT professor Xiaoning Ding believes he can address.
