As a researcher, Kevin Belfield is working at the forefront of medical innovation to develop a minimally invasive imaging technique that could revolutionize how wound healing and the growth of cancerous tissue are monitored. A professor in the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science, Belfield is also dean of the College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA), and in this role he is helping to build the success of programs that span a very broad spectrum of research and education at NJIT.

Associate Professor Eric Fortune, a member of the Department of Biological Sciences since 2012, is an explorer whose research is focused on finding answers to questions at the frontiers of human physiology and behavior. In his Central King Building laboratory, with the assistance of undergraduate and graduate students, Fortune is challenging the unknowns of how the brain uses sensory information to control behavior. It’s a search that has also taken him far from the NJIT campus, to wilderness locations in South America.

Land lies in water; it is shadowed green. Shadows, or are they shallows, at its edges showing the line of long sea-weeded ledges where weeds hang to the simple blue from green. Or does the land lean down to lift the sea from under, drawing it unperturbed around itself? Along the fine tan sandy shelf is the land tugging at the sea from under? — From “The Map” by Elizabeth Bishop

Since coming to NJIT in 1994, Professor Eliza Michalopoulou has been listening to the world’s oceans, researching how new knowledge about sound propagation in the marine environment can enhance the U.S. Navy’s antisubmarine defenses. But the analytical tools she uses have other applications as well, including the potential to yield greater understanding of oceanic pollution patterns and climate change. A Good Match

Lego building blocks and a chance conversation at a scientific conference have led to a discovery about water droplets on the International Space Station (ISS) with down-to-earth applications that could range from the production of better inkjet printers to more precise techniques for manufacturing polymer fibers and microelectronic devices, and improvements in mass spectrometry.

For Christopher Domey ’16, the decision to attend NJIT was an easy one. His brother was already enrolled as a student and the campus was close to home, thereby allowing him to stay in contact with friends and family. “In order to be sure I had a private space where I could get away from the distractions at home, I made sure to live on campus for my first three years of NJIT,” Domey said. “This proved to be invaluable.”

The New Jersey State House in Trenton was the rallying point for many of the top researchers in Drone and UAV innovation (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with representatives from NJIT, Rutgers, Stockton, Rowan, and Stevens Institute of Technology. The forum was sponsored by the New Jersey Senate Democrats with Senate President Steve Sweeney, Senator Jim Whelan, Senator Jeff Van Drew, and Senator Sandra Cunningham in attendance. NJIT alum Senator Paul Sarlo was also instrumental in organizing the forum and supporting the ongoing research activities.

William V. Rapp, Henry J. Leir Professor of International Trade and Business at NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management, received an award from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for best GDP forecast as well as in the categories of oil prices and housing starts. "From my perspective, the most amazing thing is not only winning the award, but that my forecast was based largely on intuition and a calculator and yet I beat those using sophisticated computer models and large data sets," Rapp noted.
